Next Episode: Volcano shapes - shield, composite/stratiform, caldera - and chemistry

In this episode, I talk about the geological and topographic features of transform fault boundaries between two tectonic plates. This is a great summary for students learning about Plate Tectonics.

If you want a summary of the theory - you can find a podcast episode that covers the theory here.

If you want a booklet covering the theory and evidence, check out this one - its great idea as a class set.

And finally, if you are looking for activities for students on Plate tectonics, then see what we have in our Member Resources page.
