Transform boundaries are seen in earthquakes that are caused by normal faults. Some types of faults are listric or ring faults.
The landforms that are formed at a transform boundary forms features such as fault lines and oceanic fracture zones. Fault lines are also known as strike slip faults. They produce powerful earthquakes.
Subduction Zones and Transform faults can produce Earthquakes.
Earthquakes can occur at any type of plate boundary, but the most powerful earthquakes tend to occur at convergent boundaries and at transform boundaries.
Divergent plate boundaries are moving apart so you would expect normal faults to form. Where these have significance on a regional scale they are known as detachment faults. It is also common to find transform faults running at right angles to divergent boundaries that cause offsets in the boundary along its length. Please see the related links for more information.
The stress that causes strike-slip faults is produced by a shearing force and so is called shear stress.

Earthquakes can occur at any type of plate boundary, but the most powerful earthquakes tend to occur at convergent boundaries and at transform boundaries.
Thrust faults will do this - the alps. So will normal faults - horsts
Transform and normal faults form along mid-ocean ridges such as the Mid-Atlantic ridge.
Large faults such as the San Andreas are transform faults and are found throughout the state but moreso in the central and southern regions. Slip-strike faults exist between the inland mountains and the coast. Minor earthquakes occur almost constantly along these faults.San Andreas.
It is divergent between the North American and Eurasian plates. Volcanoes and earthquakes do occur along the boundary.
There are three kinds of faults. First there is the Strike-Slip fault. Second there is the Normal Fault and third of all there is the Reverse Fault.
