Question
What is the BEST explanation for what will most likely occur at this type of plate boundary?

Thermal vents will form because of magma flowing up under high pressure.
B.
Mountains will form because there is compression and rock folding.
C.
Volcanic eruptions will occur because the plates slide past each other.
D.
Earthquakes will occur when the two different plates slide pass each other.

The BEST explanation for what will most likely occur at this type of plate boundary, particularly if it is a transform boundary where two plates slide past each other, is:
**D. Earthquakes will occur when the two different plates slide past each other.**
Transform boundaries are known for causing earthquakes as the plates may get stuck due to friction and then release suddenly, causing seismic activity. Options A, B, and C describe processes more associated with divergent and convergent boundaries, rather than transform boundaries.
**D. Earthquakes will occur when the two different plates slide past each other.**
