Transform Plate Boundaries Model
Product Code : JA-ERAM-4405
The Transform Plate Boundaries Model (SKU JA-ERAM-4405) is a plate tectonics model of a transform boundary, where two plates slide horizontally past each other along strike-slip faults. At these boundaries lithosphere is neither created nor destroyed, unlike divergent and convergent boundaries, but the sideways movement makes them zones of frequent earthquakes. JaincoLab makes this plate boundary model for school geography and college geology teaching, together with convergent and divergent boundary models.
Specifications
The model represents a transform plate boundary, as described below; size, material, base and colouring are not stated in the listing and are confirmed on the quotation.

Applications of the transform plate boundaries model
The model is used to teach the third type of plate boundary, showing sideways movement along strike-slip faults and explaining why such boundaries are associated with earthquakes rather than volcanoes.
- Plate tectonics lessons in school geography
- Faults and earthquakes topics in earth science
- Strike-slip faulting in college geology
- Comparing the three types of plate boundary

Frequently asked questions
What is a transform plate boundary?
A boundary where plates move horizontally past each other on strike-slip faults.
Is crust created or destroyed there?
No. At a transform boundary lithosphere is neither created nor destroyed.
Are the other boundary types available?
Yes. Convergent and divergent plate boundary models are listed under related products.
