The 27 pages that link to Transform fault, each with the reason it gives.

• Plate tectonicsRelated: The third boundary type; the San Andreas Fault is its most famous example.

• Seafloor spreadingRelated: The third boundary type, offsetting spreading centers into their staircase pattern.

• Mid-ocean ridgeRelated: Ridges are offset by hundreds of transform faults that segment the spreading axis.

• Pacific PlateRelated: Transform boundaries accommodate sideways motion where Pacific Plate margins are offset.

• Mid-Atlantic RidgeRelated: Fracture zones chop the ridge into offset segments; most ridge length lies along these transforms.

• Caribbean PlateRelated: Transform motion accommodates lateral displacement along parts of the plate’s margins.

• East Pacific RiseRelated: Transform faults offset ridge segments and connect them along the seafloor.

• Antarctic PlateRelated: Transform faults connect spreading segments along parts of the plate’s margins.

• Farallon PlateRelated: After the Farallon Plate was consumed, the Pacific–North America boundary became largely transform motion.

• Azores Triple JunctionRelated: Transform motion accommodates sideways displacement along the Azores-Gibraltar system.

• Southeast Indian RidgeRelated: Transform faults link offset ridge segments and accommodate differences in spreading direction.

• Pacific–Antarctic RidgeRelated: Transform faults offset ridge segments and accommodate their differing directions of motion.

• Scotia PlateRelated: Transform faults accommodate lateral motion along parts of the Scotia Plate’s boundaries.

• Seafloor spreading hypothesisRelated: Predicted the zigzag ridge-fault pattern that spreading creates, and matched observations.

• Central Indian RidgeRelated: Transform faults can connect and offset segments of the ridge.
