"At a transform boundary, the plates move in a direction that is parallel to the boundary line."

Explanation: transform boundaries involve plates sliding past one another (parallel motion), producing earthquakes. They do not typically produce volcanic activity, are not defined by one plate sliding beneath another (that describes convergent/subduction boundaries), and are found both on land (e.g., San Andreas Fault) and on the seafloor.
