| 1. | With this in mind, Wilson described six types of transform faults:
|
| 2. | The eastern boundary is a transform fault, the Panama Fracture Zone.
|
| 3. | Fracture zones and the transform faults that form them are separate features.
|
| 4. | Extensional cracks and transform faults are found perpendicular to the spreading direction.
|
| 5. | Finally, fracturing along these planes forms transform faults.
|
| 6. | These occur when two descending subduction plates are linked by a transform fault.
|
| 7. | Transform faults specifically relieve strain by transporting the strain between ridges or subduction zones.
|
| 8. | As previously stated, active transform faults are between two tectonic structures or faults.
|
| 9. | Decreasing length faults : In rare cases, transform faults can shrink in length.
|
| 10. | A large transform fault separated the two terranes.
