Transform Plate Boundaries

Transform Plate Boundaries is a type of plate boundary in plate tectonics characterized by lateral motion between adjacent tectonic plates that slide past one another without creating or destroying lithosphere, distinguished from divergent and convergent boundaries by the absence of net crustal accretion or subduction.
