Which outcome results from crustal stress near transform boundaries?

💡 Explanation

Seismic activity increases near transform boundaries because frictional resistance prevents continuous sliding thereby the stick-slip mechanism causes episodic stress build-up and sudden release as earthquakes rather than steady-state creep, therefore episodic stress and slip; not continuous mantle convection.
