Which of the following hazards would you expect to see at a transform plate boundary?
A) moderate strength earthquakes; non-explosive volcanic eruptions; flooding if volcanoes erupt underwater such as in Iceland
B) large earthquakes; explosive volcanic eruptions; landslides and flooding due to long chain of volcanic mountains
C) large earthquakes; no volcanoes; landslides and flooding due to the large plateau of very high mountains
D) large earthquakes; no volcanoes; flooding if the plate boundary is hilly

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transform plate boundaries are characterized by large earthquakes due to the sliding motion of tectonic plates. They do not typically have volcanic activity, as there is no subduction or magma generation. Flooding can occur if the area is hilly, but this is not directly related to the plate boundary itself.
