  • Transform Boundaries: Where Crust is Neither Created Nor Destroyed
    The boundary where the crust is neither created nor destroyed is called a transform boundary.

    Here's why:

    * Transform boundaries are where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally.

    * No new crust is formed (like at divergent boundaries) and no existing crust is destroyed (like at convergent boundaries).

    * The primary activity at transform boundaries is earthquakes, caused by the friction and stress of the plates grinding against each other.

    Examples of transform boundaries:

    * The San Andreas Fault in California, USA

    * The Alpine Fault in New Zealand

    * The Queen Charlotte Fault in Canada
