The small Turkish micro plate is bounded on the east by the East Anatolian fault zone (EAFZ), on the north by the North Anatolian fault zone (NAFZ), on the west by a diffuse zone of deformation surrounding the greater Aegean region, and on the south by the Hellenic and Cyprus arcs.
The San Andreas Fault is the most well-known (and most deadly) translational interface. The two plates slides by one another along a large scale fault. Since these are two large pieces of rock, there is a great deal of frictional coupling that occurs. Sometimes the plates get locked in some local region and great deal of strain energy is stored in that region.
