Most likely a transform plate boundary — or possibly a continent–continent (collisional) convergent boundary.
Reason: transform margins (e.g., San Andreas) produce moderate–large earthquakes from strike‑slip faulting but produce little or no volcanism. Continental collisions also generate large earthquakes but typically lack volcanic activity because there is no subducted oceanic slab to generate magma.
