transform

=**​Titl​e:**= Transform Plate Boundaries (One of the three types of plate boundaries) are locations where two plates slide past one another.

[]

**Locations:** Most transform faults are found on the ocean floor, but there are very little that occur on land (such as the San Andreas fault located in California).

[]


 * Associated Geologic Features:**

Transform Boundaries tend to form long fault lines like the San Andreas fault and also form a number of earthquakes.

=**Associated Events:**=  Associated Geol​ogic EventsOne event that is associated with transform boundaries was in Haiti. Not too long ago (January 12) they had a devistating earthquake that measured 7.0 on the Richtor scale. This earthquake killed a lot of people and destroyed a ton of buildings. How this happens: As these plates glide past each other it creates friction which then makes it harder for them to continue gliding against each other. Too much friction will cause strain on both of the plates and this could be very dangerous. If this strain keeps happening it will eventually build up to the point where the plates can't hold it anymore and they will instantly release the strain to cause an earthquake.

**Other Info**

An example of a transform plate boundry would be the San Andreas fault located in California.
