Transform Plate Boundaries

This video discusses the characteristics of transform plate boundaries where plates slide past each other. We examine four examples of transform boundaries between plates and describe how and why short transform segments offset the oceanic ridge system throughout the world's oceans. We take a closer look at the major transform boundary in North America, the San Andreas fault system and examine what the plate boundary looks like in the Californian desert and what might happen if it were to slip like it has done in the historical past. Finally, we give you an opportunity to see if you can identify the location of a transform boundary where it cuts across part of New Zealand.

Thanks for the helpful information! This video has been much more helpful in 65 seconds than google has been in 2 hours.

[@thegamingteacher2523]

Thanks for the video and the analogy with the ball. It made transformation boundaries a lot clearer for me.

We're doing a dance demonstrating about transform boundaries and I'm here learning nothing, my head hurts from all the information I got from all these videos. Helpful though

You should have explained how rotation of the earth effects the boundaries

Someone as well this question for me 😪😪 1. How do transform plates move in direction? (Hint - look at the arrows)

2. The Earth is round, but the Earth’s crust is like a sheet of rock broken into pieces. Describe how small transform plate boundaries “wrap” the plates around the Earth.

3. There are two plates rubbing against each other along California. Which two plates are these?

4. The San Andreas fault is famous in North America for being the cause of several California earthquakes. San Francisco is located at the very edge of the North American plate. Where is Los Angeles located?

5. In movies, sometimes the San Andreas fault will dramatically “open up”, is this true?
