Transform Fault Kinematics

Transform Fault Kinematics is a geophysical framework that characterizes the relative motion and deformation along transform faults at plate boundaries, distinguished by its focus on the orthogonal relationship between fault orientation and the direction of plate spreading at mid-ocean ridges.
