A transform boundary is where two tectonic plates are slideing against eachother. An example of a transform boundary is the San Andreas Fault which divides the north american plate with the pacific plate. This is also whats called a strike slip fault.

This is where the two plates are sliding past eachother. The North American Plate is moving southeast about 1 inch per year while the pacific plate is moving about 3 inches a year. At the curren speed LA will be north of  San Francisco in about 100 million years. If this stuff excites you and you want to learn more search the internet for books or kits on plate tectonics.
