Lynn Sykes later found evidence for these boundaries in 1967, confirming their role in plate tectonics. They are conservative, meaning that no plate material is melted, and they begin and end at other plate boundaries. These structures explain the fracture zones and offsets of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. FTP, name the type of fault in which normal displacement stops or changes and the most famous example of which is the San Andreas fault.
