← GeographyWhich geological hazard increases along transform plate boundaries?
A)Shallow crustal earthquakes✓
B)Major stratovolcano eruptions
C)Widespread flood basalts
D)Deep seated mantle plumes
💡 Explanation
Shallow crustal earthquakes increase because frictional resistance prevents smooth, continuous movement utilizing elastic rebound along transform faults; therefore, built-up stress releases abruptly as seismic waves, rather than causing volcanism that require magma plumes.
