1 Transform Fault Boundary
Finz 2012

2 Transform Fault Plate Boundary
Occurs when a continental plate breaks open and begins to move These plates move in opposite directions

3 What forms at a Transform Fault Boundary?
The Earth will split open leaving a fault line

4 What kinds of Earthquakes occur at an Transform Fault Boundary?
Along the fault line there will be: shallow EQ’s intermediate EQ’s deep EQ’s All these EQ’s occur along a straight down from the surface

5 How do transform faults move?
