I apologize for the confusion in my response.
The correct answer is: Plates sliding past each other do not produce large pools of rising magma.
At transform plate boundaries, where two plates slide past each other horizontally, there is no significant convergence or divergence to create magma. Volcanoes typically form at convergent plate boundaries where one plate is subducted beneath another, or at divergent plate boundaries where plates move apart, allowing magma to rise and create volcanic activity. Transform plate boundaries, on the other hand, primarily generate earthquakes due to the intense friction and pressure between the plates as they slide past each other horizontally.
