Which geological hazard increases along transform plate boundaries?

💡 Explanation

Shallow crustal earthquakes increase because frictional resistance prevents smooth, continuous movement utilizing elastic rebound along transform faults; therefore, built-up stress releases abruptly as seismic waves, rather than causing volcanism that require magma plumes.
