Transform boundaries are where tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. Since there is no magma upwelling (like at divergent boundaries) or subduction (like at convergent boundaries), there is no volcanic activity. Also, no large mountain - building (which occurs at convergent boundaries) or deep trench formation (also at convergent boundaries where one plate subducts). Shallow earthquakes are common as plates grind against each other.
