Our global inventory identifies 78 transform continental margins. Transform margins represent 31% of non-convergent margins in cumulative length. Many transform margins have a marginal plateau of intermediate depth. Transform margins display an important variety in shape and structure. Marginal plateaus are often found between two oceans and in thinned continental crust domains.
