Which risk increases along continental transform plate boundaries due to elastic strain?

💡 Explanation

A major earthquake risk increases because of fault locking preventing steady creep leading to accumulated stress release by the mechanism of elastic rebound. Therefore a major rupture event is likely, rather than volcanism or trench formation which involves convergent boundaries.
