Transforming Plate Boundaries

We know about a few divergent and convergent plate boundaries, but I could only think of one transforming boundary, the San Andreas Fault in California.  Here is a list of a few more.

Dead Sea boundary, in the Middle East
Alpine Fault in New Zealand
Chaman Fault in Pakistan
North Anatolian Fault in Turkey
Queen Charlotte in North America


The purple lines are transform plate boundaries
