divergent plate boundary (oceanic ridge or continental rift)
transform plate boundary (transform fault)
divergent plate boundary (oceanic ridge by transform faults along mid - ocean ridges)
convergent plate boundary (subduction zone)
complex or uncertain plate boundary
mantle hot spot
At a transform plate boundary, tectonic plates move horizontally past each other. This is represented by arrows that are side - by - side and slide past each other. Arrows pointing away from each other indicate a divergent boundary, arrows pointing towards each other indicate a convergent boundary, and it's incorrect to say there are no arrows (as shown in the key of the tectonic plate map, transform boundaries have specific arrow notations).
