Which outcome is intensified in transform plate boundaries due to asperities?

💡 Explanation

Episodic tremor and slip (ETS) events are intensified because asperities impede continuous slip, promoting cycles of stress build-up and abrupt release via aseismic creep and low-frequency earthquakes, therefore ETS activity is observed, rather than constant tremors or magma flows.
