Which outcome results from stress build-up along lithospheric transform plate boundaries?

💡 Explanation

Seismic events occur along transform plate boundaries because differential motion accumulates stress; this leads to episodic slip in strike-slip faults, rather than continuous volcanism. The stick-slip mechanism causes rapid releases of stored elastic energy.
