Yes, transform boundaries are characterized by strike-slip faults. At these boundaries, tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally, resulting in lateral movement. This movement is primarily due to shear stress, leading to the formation of strike-slip faults, where the primary displacement occurs parallel to the fault line. Examples include the San Andreas Fault in California.
