Transform plate boundaries are locations where two plates slide past one another.
A transform boundary occurs when two different plates move away from the center of a divergent plate. Most transform faults are found in the ocean. However, some cut through the lithosphere. An example of this is the San Andreas Fault Zone, which connects a divergent boundary and a subduction zone, which is less common in transform boundaries. This area has recurring earthquake activity and faulting (Geology.com, n.d.).
