At which type of plate boundary do you get only earthquakes?
Transform boundary (Plates slide sideways past each other so there is no melting of rocks or gaps through which molten magma can squeeze up from below).

Plates do not move smoothly. The rocks on either side become jammed together and incredibly large forces build up as the plates either side continue to move. When the plates finally become 'unstuck', which natural hazards occur?
Earthquakes are formed when rocks move in this way (not volcanoes).
