Plates Separating and Sliding

The video explores tectonic plate movements, focusing on Iceland's Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a divergent boundary where the North American and Eurasian plates separate, leading to volcanic activity. It also covers the San Andreas Fault in California, a transform fault where the Pacific and North American plates slide past each other, causing frequent and sometimes devastating earthquakes.

Explain what a transform fault is and provide an example.
