Which geological event results when strain overcomes friction along transform boundaries?

💡 Explanation

Earthquakes are common at transform boundaries; the friction prevents continuous motion, because stress builds till it overcomes the frictional force, therefore causing rapid slip accompanied by intense seismic energy release, rather than gradual deformation.
