Summary
This chapter discusses the progressive evolution of the transform, which is supported by published constraints including analog material modeling, earthquake data, sedimentological data, paleomagnetic data, and reflection seismic images. It focuses on the host lithosphere control on the depth extent of evolving transcurrent faults and their structural styles.
