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.

How many volcanoes are in Sao Paulo?

There are no active volcanoes in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The region is not located on a tectonic plate boundary where volcanic activity typically occurs.


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.


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).


Are volcanoes and earthquakes located in the middle of continents?

Volcanoes and earthquakes are typically located along the edges of tectonic plates, where the Earth's crust is more active. These areas include plate boundaries such as subduction zones, transform faults, and spreading centers. While it is less common, volcanic activity can also occur within continents, often associated with hotspots or rift zones.

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 is a consecutive plate boundary?

A consecutive plate boundary is a boundary where two or more tectonic plates interact one after another. This can lead to a series of different tectonic processes such as subduction, transform faulting, and spreading. An example of a consecutive plate boundary is the boundary between the Pacific Plate, North American Plate, and Juan de Fuca Plate in the western United States.

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

The San Andreas Fault is a strike-slip fault where the motion is mainly horizontal, with the two sides moving past each other horizontally. It is a transform boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate.


What type of boundary is the Juan DE fuca plate?

It is a divergent plate boundary

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

What happen when a volcano is active?

When a volcano is active it will erupt. These volcanoes might take many years to erupt but will still erupt.
