There are about 25,000 kilometers of continental transform faults across the globe, including some famous ones such as the ...

The San Andreas Fault is a continental transform fault that extends roughly 1,200 kilometers (750 mi) through California. It forms the tectonic boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North ...

With 25,000 kilometers of continental transform faults worldwide, Stein and Bird’s findings imply that many regions are at higher risk of catastrophic earthquakes than previously believed.

Continental transform earthquakes are quakes that occur when two tectonic plates slide past each other. This movement ...

The five largest continental transform earthquakes since 2000 all originated on a branch of the main fault—and two researchers predict that the next great earthquake of this type will also get ...

This sudden jerk creates an earthquake. The San Andreas Fault is undoubtedly the most famous transform boundary in the world. To the west of the fault is the Pacific plate, which is moving northwest.
