- This kind of boundary results in a fault — a crack or fracture in the earth's crust that is associated with this movement. Faults and Earthquakes. Transform boundaries and the resulting faults produce many earthquakes because edges of tectonic plates are jagged rather than smooth.

- fault A geologic fault in which the hanging wall has moved upward relative to the footwall. Reverse faults occur where two blocks of rock are forced together by compression. Compare normal fault. See Note and illustration at fault. The American Heritage® Science Dictionary.
- noun. The definition of an S wave, or secondary wave, is a wave motion in a solid medium where the medium moves perpendicular to the direction of the travel of the wave. An example of an S wave is when pieces of rock in an earthquake vibrate at right angles to the direction of the seismic wave.
