Which event is the most common at a transform plate boundary? HELP ASAP PLEASE A. frequent earthquakes B. formation of a mountain chain C. a mid-ocean ridge D. a hot spot volcano
So at a transform boundary, you have two tectonic plates sliding past one another in opposite directions. Now they don't really like moving all the time, so they tend to stick together. The pressure build up between these two plates (this is called strain), once they get to a certain amount of pressure, they will eventually slip past one another to reduce the strain. This results in a rapid movement of two VERY LARGE land masses. What does that sound like to you?
a mid-ocean rige
rapid movement of two large land masses. imagine if your house was built on top of this scenario. what would you expect to experience?
frequent earthquakes
THATS A BINGO
