11. Along the ridge there are seven transform faults that offset it to the north. 12. The trench turns west north of the Tonga Plate and becomes a transform fault zone. 13. Most seismicity recorded in this area occurred on or near the Explorer Transform Fault Zone. 14. This suggests that the SEIR evolves rapidly within the framework of the stable transform faults . 15. The fault is a transform fault with a corner at the scarps that dam lakes. 16. Transform faults also act as the plane of weakness allowing for the splitting in rift zones.17. Transform faults move differently than a strike-slip fault at the mid-oceanic ridge.18. Constant length faults : In other cases, transform faults will remain at a constant length. 19. These transform faults and migrating rifts are located were the SEIR reaches its maximum axial depths. 20. The Sagaing Fault is a continental transform fault between the India Plate and the Sunda Plate.
