WHAT ARE TRANSFORM BOUNDARIES (FAULTS)?
At some locations on the surface of the Earth, plates are neither moving away from (diverging) or towards (converging)one another. At these points sections of the Earth slide horizontally past one another.

WHAT ARE TRANSFORM BOUNDARIES (FAULTS)?
At some locations on the surface of the Earth, plates are neither moving away from (diverging) or towards (converging)one another. At these points sections of the Earth slide horizontally past one another. These zones are “necessary” because:

WHAT ARE TRANSFORM BOUNDARIES (FAULTS)?
At some locations on the surface of the Earth, plates are neither moving away from (diverging) or towards (converging)one another. At these points sections of the Earth slide horizontally past one another. These zones are “necessary” because:
1. The Earth’ s surface is curved.

WHAT ARE TRANSFORM BOUNDARIES (FAULTS)?
At some locations on the surface of the Earth, plates are neither moving away from (diverging) or towards (converging)one another. At these points sections of the Earth slide horizontally past one another. These zones are “necessary” because:
1. The Earth’ s surface is curved.
2. Not all plate boundaries interact with each other in a simple geometric fashion.

2. Not all plate boundaries interact with each other in a simple geometric fashion.
3. Rates of divergence and convergence vary globally.
