Question
- transform boundaries are most likely to produce what phenomenon?
volcanoes
underwater mountain ranges
earthquakes
deep sea trenches
Brief Explanations
Transform boundaries are where tectonic plates slide past each other. The friction and stress from this movement can cause sudden releases of energy, which result in earthquakes. Volcanoes are more associated with convergent (where one plate is sub - ducted) or divergent (where magma rises) boundaries. Underwater mountain ranges (mid - ocean ridges) are formed at divergent boundaries. Deep - sea trenches are formed at convergent boundaries (subduction zones).
