Summary
This chapter focuses on the delineation of boundaries between different types of crust at transform margins. It describes various methods that allow one to make distribution maps of crustal types, and to associate specific structural architecture with underlying continental, proto-oceanic, and oceanic crusts. Further discussed are strengths and weaknesses of various constraining data and how much detail is provided by different methods.
