Question
what do the intense forces involved in plates sliding past each other at transform boundaries make them especially prone to? seismic activity and earthquakes tsunamis volcanic eruptions
Transform boundaries involve plates sliding past each other. The intense forces here cause stress accumulation. When this stress is released suddenly, it leads to seismic activity (earthquakes). Tsunamis are mainly caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides displacing large volumes of water, not directly the primary result of transform - boundary plate motion. Volcanic eruptions are more associated with divergent (where magma rises) or convergent (subduction - zone melting) boundaries rather than transform boundaries.
