n-Dodecyl Mercaptan. Normal dodecyl mercaptan (n-dodecyl mercaptan, 1-dodecanethiol, lauryl mercaptan, NDDM, CAS # 112-55-0) is used in many diverse applications. In free-radical polymerization systems, it acts as a chain transfer agent to control molecular weight. A variety of antioxidants and stabilizers are produced from it as a chemical intermediate.
San Andreas Fault. The San Andreas Fault is the transform boundary between the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate. During the 1906 San Francisco earthquake the northern section of the San Andreas Fault slipped northward along the fault from San Juan Bautista to Cape Mendocino, a total of 296 miles (477km). transform boundary is a fault zone where two plates slide past each other horizontally. Most transform faults are found in the ocean where they offset spreading ridges creating a zigzag pattern between the plates.
It makes an earthquake.   pressure builds up, and then it is suddenly released.   An earthquake. The place were two plates move past each other is called a  transform boundary. pressure builds uo and then releases. What occurs when the plates slide each other is a boundary forming. this boundary is called a transform boundary.
