Answer 1

What do you think?

Answer 2

Transform faults can be distinguished from the typical strike-slip faults because the sense of movement is in the opposite direction (see illustration at right). 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.
