When I have time, I will help editing this article. There really doesn't need to be a section detailing the mechanics of faults generally. This article's focus is about the specific type of fault which runs along plate boundaries. Tmangray ( talk) 22:04, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
Actually, the offsetting faults along the ridges are also parts of plate boundaries, even if mainly characterized as part of a ridge system in a particular place. Am I wrong? Tmangray ( talk) 23:56, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
A TRANSFORM BOUNDARY IS A PLACE WHERE TWO PLATS SLIP PAST EACH OTHER,MOVING IN OPPSITE DIRECTION. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.11.152.197 ( talk) 15:56, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
Is a transform fault the same thing as a lateral fault (sideways movement)? Just trying to get a good grade on my paper. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Germpolice ( talk • contribs) 19:00, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
The introductory paragraph mentions the destructive transform faults being the best-known but this is not mentioned for the rest of the page and the note requires clicking the internal link to find "destructive" as being the earthquake page. Isn't this a bit obscure in terms of linking?
Also, the page doesn't refer to how transform faults are related to earthquakes, only how their length is affected. Should more earthquake-related mechanics be added or just linked in? Daothao ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:51, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
The article relies on appropriate source and citations, and the examples are very detailed, which is very helpful! ---- TaoCo ( talk) 00:39, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
This article does a great job comparing the transcurrent and transform faults, however it might be useful to include seismic observations in transform faults. Also, the definition of transform faults in the first sentence is too vague; what are the directions of relative plate motion here?-- Neo Culture Technology ( talk) 03:13, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
