Answer:
Transform faults can be distinguished from the typical strike-slip faults because the sense of movement is in the opposite direction (see illustration). A strike-slip fault is a simple offset; however, a transform fault is formed between two different plates, each moving away from the spreading center of a divergent plate boundary. When you look at the transform fault diagram, imagine the double line as a divergent plate boundary and visualize which way the diverging plates would be moving.

Plate boundaries become transform fault by forming fracture zone.
Explanation:
- Transform Plate Boundaries are locations where two plates slide past one another.
- Transform boundaries are also known as conservative plate boundaries because they involve no addition or loss of lithosphere at the Earth's surface.
- The fracture zone that forms a transform plate boundary is known as a transform fault.
- Transform faults are one of the three major types of plate boundaries and can be divided into two groups: continental and oceanic transform faults.
- It move differently from a strike-slip fault at the mid-oceanic ridge .
