Question
what do the intense forces involved in plates sliding past each other at transform boundaries make them especially prone to? tsunamis volcanic eruptions seismic activity and earthquakes
At transform boundaries, tectonic plates slide past each other. The intense forces here cause stress to build up. When this stress is released suddenly, it leads to seismic activity and earthquakes. Tsunamis are often caused by underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions displacing water. Volcanic eruptions are more common at divergent (where plates move apart) or convergent (where plates move towards each other) boundaries due to magma rising.
