Transform Boundaries
These boundaries are formed as a result of the tremors due to energy released from divergence and convergence of plates that transform the Earth’s surface. The two plates grind against each other causing strike-slip faults. The San Andreas Fault in California is a good example of the Transform boundary. Although these boundaries do not produce mountains or oceans but can trigger large earthquakes due to the halting motion. For e.g. the devastating earthquake that rocked San Francisco in 1906.
