What will you learn i
n this presentation?
There are three types of plate boundary.
They are Transform Plate Boundary, Dive
rgent Plate Boundary, and Convergent Pl
ate Boundary. In this presentation, we wi
ll be talking about Transform Plate Boun
dary. We will give examples of area whic
h have Transform Plate Boundary, and w
e will also talk about the types of earthq
uakes that occur, the land features that a
re created, and the driving force for plate
movement. There will be graphics to hel
p explain throughout the presentation.
What is Transform
Plate Boundary?
Transform Plate Boundary is a type of fault
that runs on the border of a tectonic plate.
The two pieces of crust on either side slide
in opposite directions. This happens becau
se when convectional currents move in op
posite directions, it also carries the crust in
opposite directions creating a sliding effec
