What geologic processes and or phenomena is not found at transform plate boundaries?

volcanoes


Is a volcanic island transform?

No. Volcanoes do not form at transform boundaries. Volcanic islands can form at convergent boundaries and at hot spots.


What is primary cause of volcanoes and earthquakes?

Convergent and transform boundaries


Volcanoes usually occur along what plate boundaries?

transform and divergent

No. Mauna loa is on a hot spot. Transform boundaries do not produce volcanoes.


What plate boundary can cause volcanoes?

What type of boundaries cause volcanoes? Divergent and transform fault boundaries cause volcanoes because they separate. Convergent boundaries cause earthquakes because they collide with other plates.


What land features are found at transform fault boundaries?

Faults are found at transform boundaries like at the San andrais fault


What is the similarities between convergent divergent and transform boundaries?

they both form volcanoes and earthquakes


How many volcanoes happen on a transform boundary?

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.


What rocks are found at transform boundaries?

At transform boundaries, two plates grind past each other with no loss of material from the lithosphere. Rocks found at these boundaries are peridotite and gabbro.


Is forming underwater mountains and volcanoes convergent divergent or transform?

Underwater volcanoes and mountains can form at both convergent and divergent boundaries.


Where can composite volcanoes be found?
