Transform Fault

Boundaries
Although most transform faults are located within the
ocean basin. there are few that through the continental
crust. An example of this is the San Andreas fault, the
immediate concerns about transform fault boundary
are earthquake activities triggered by movements along
the fault system

It was stated at the beginning of this module that

majority of tectonic activities like earthquakes.
Mountain Formation, and volcanic activities happen are
along or near plate boundaries. But there are some
cases wherein activities take place in the middle of a
plate.

Let’s take the case of Hawaiian island. here, we can find

some of the largest and most active volcanoes of the
world. If were going to look at Hawaii, it is situated right
the middle of pacific plate and not along the boundaries
