Transforming Plates
Another name for a Transforming Plate Boundary is a sliding boundary or a conservative boundary.
These plate boundaries are found in areas where two plates meet at a fault line and slide past each other in opposite directions both at diffferent speeds. This movement causes friction between the plates which in result, raises the temperature When transforming plate boundaries meet, the sliding plates can become stuck. In attempt to free themselves, the plates cause earthquakes.
These earthquakes can measure from mild tremors to violent earthquakes that could cause immense damage to civilisations that reside near these fault lines.
