In an article published in Science Advances, a collaborative team led by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) ...

A team presents new details of an oceanic transform fault at the Gofar fault in the eastern Pacific Ocean. The work reveals unexpected brine deposits beneath the seafloor near the fault, which could ...

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.

Oceanic transform faults have historically been thought of as simple, predictable features. They represent the least well-studied of the three major plate boundaries, which include divergent ...

Ask them what kind of stress results in this type of fault (compression, tension, or shear). Ask them near what plate boundary (convergent, divergent, and transform) one can expect to see this ...

The movement of the plates creates three types of tectonic boundaries: convergent, where plates move into one another; divergent, where plates move apart; and transform, where plates move sideways ...

The Julian earthquake is worth closer examination not for its size or damage (there was very little), but for a demonstration ...
