31. Transform faults are not limited to oceanic crust and spreading centers; many transform faults are located on continental margins. 32. A special class of strike-slip faults is the transform fault , where such faults form a plate boundary. 33. The boundary between the two plates appears to lack a definite transform fault , yet they are regarded as distinct. 34. One hypothesis is that a north trending dextral transform faults has displaced this section of the arc to the north. 35. (7 ) 2.6 million years ago : a major transform fault occurs north of the Galapagos hotspot. 36. At 33.3 Mya, the Macquarie Triple Junction was a stable ridge transform fault transform fault triple junction. 37. The Alpine Fault is the right-lateral transform fault boundary separating the Puysequr Trench and the northern Kermadec Trench. 38. Current research indicates that the ridge was formed as a fracture zone and transform fault along the East Pacific Rise. 39. It is bounded by dextral wrench faults ( possible transform faults ) and probably represents a pull-apart basin. 40. Apparently, the seismic event propagated far along the Vienna Transform fault but did not extend southward of the Alps.
