Transform boundaries produce strike-slip earthquakes that are often shallow and can occur near urban corridors. The horizontal motion can still generate severe shaking and infrastructure damage.
Why they can be devastating
shallow depth
proximity to population centers
surface rupture potential
strong near-field shaking
