<Li> Turkey's North Anatolian Fault </Li> <Li> North America's Queen Charlotte Fault </Li> <P> In his work on transform - fault systems, geologist Tuzo Wilson said that transform faults must be connected to other faults or tectonic - plate boundaries on both ends; because of that requirement, transform faults can grow in length, keep a constant length, or decrease in length . These length changes are dependent on which type of fault or tectonic structure connect with the transform fault . Wilson described six types of transform faults: </P> <P> Growing length: In situations where a transform fault links a spreading center and the upper block of a subduction zone or where two upper blocks of subduction zones are linked, the transform fault itself will grow in length . </P>
