///Analysis of transform structures is important to study regional structural setting and hydrocarbon occurrence in extensional fault depressions. Based on previous studies and recent explanation of extensive seismic reflection survey in Bohai Bay Basin, some controversial and interesting problems of the transform structures are discussed in this paper: 1) the authors redefine the technical terms of the transform structures used in previous studies, such as segmentation structure, transform structure, transfer zone, accommodation zone and transform zone, and illustrate its fundamental concepts; 2) according to different modes of the transform structures, which links two relay master faults and related fault depressions, a new scheme of classification is presented; 3) formation mechanism of transfer zone and accommodation zone is closely related with regular change of displacement along fault strike.
