Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A spot where two continental plates are sliding past one another is known as a transform boundary. These boundaries are characterized by frequent earthquakes as the plates grind against each other. While volcanoes and tsunamis are more commonly associated with convergent boundaries (where plates collide) or divergent boundaries (where plates move apart), they can still occur near transform boundaries, but earthquakes are the most common natural disaster in these areas. Wildfires are not directly related to plate tectonics and are not a significant threat in this context.
