Best Answer

Usually none. Only earthquakes are frequent on transform boundaries since transform boundaries appear mostly in the ocean.

Transform boundaries, like the San Andreas Fault, usually only produce Earthquakes. However, there are often volcanoes AT transform boundaries (like the Long Valley Caldera) as a result of shearing and the thin surface that results from California's nearby divergent boundary that allows magma to inch much closer to the surface.

Where on earth can you find a transform boundary?

You can find transform boundaries off the coasts of many continents


Why do scientist monitor volcanoes?

There are so many reasons why scientists monitor volcanoes. The main objective it to fully understand how they happen and also observe patterns that would aid in predicting volcanoes before they can happen.


Which volcanoes are located at hot spots?

Hot spots have generated all types of volcanoes but are most often. If you mean to ask about specific volcanoes, there are too many to count, so a few groups and notable volcanoes will be listed: The volcanoes of Hawaii The volcanoes of the Canary Islands The Yellowstone supervolcano The San Francisco volcanic complex (including Sunset Crater and the San Francisco Peaks) The volcanoes of Iceland (associated with both a hot spot and a divergent plate boundary).


Why does the cascade range have so many volcanoes?

volcanoes typically happen along earth's tectonic plates. the plates move and shift, creating both volcanoes and earthquakes. Volcanoes may also occur in the middle of plates or even over hot spots :D


What happens when two of earths plates slide past each other?

An earthquake occurs. This would also be considered a transform plate boundary, a fault zone, and a strike-slip fault. A perfect example would be the San Andreas Fault in California, which is responsible for so many earthquakes in Los Angeles and San Fransisco. The movement is small, but when there is movement, there will be an earthquake. Over time, San Fran and LA will eventually meet.

What is a consecutive plate boundary?

A consecutive plate boundary is where the tectonic plates meet. There are many types of boundaries, such as convergent, divergent, and transform.


Is a volcano a convergent boundary?

No. A volcano is not a plate boundary. Most volcanoes on land are associated with convergent boundaries, but many are associated with divergent boundaries and others with hot spots.

What type of boundary is the Juan DE fuca plate?

It is a divergent plate boundary


The san andreas fault is an example of what kind of fault?

The San Andreas Fault is a continental transform fault. It is around eight hundred and ten miles long and forms the boundary between the Pacific and the North American lithospheric plates. In California this crack in the crust of the earth is visible. As a result of this fault, many earthquakes have occurred in the regions that it passes.

What type of plate boundary is Popocatepetl at?

Convergent, divergent, or maybe a transform boundary. Choose any one you want to.


What is the name of the fault that marks the boundary between pacific and north American plates?

The name of the transform boundary that separates the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate is known as the San Andreas Fault. It is the site of many of the earthquakes that plague Southern California.


How many kinds of boundaries are there in plate tectonics?

There are four transform boundaries divergent boundaries convergent boundaries a fourth boundary where the interactions are not clear and the boundaries are not well defined


What kind of landforms are formed at transform plate boundaries?

there are many landforms such as volcanoes moutains little islands and trenches may also form at the transformation plate boundaries. i think this is the answer
