Geography

Answer:

D. Earthquakes cannot occur along transform plate boundaries.

Explanation:

Earthquakes occur both along plate edges and along faults lines in the Earth’s crust.. Most earthquakes occur along the edge of the oceanic and continental plates. Earthquakes can also occur far from the edges of plates, along faults. Normal faults are the cracks where one block of rock is sliding downward and away from another block of rock.

Faults are basically cracks in the continental or oceanic plates triggered due to plate tectonics. The crust is highly unstable in the vicinity of fault lines and disturbances along the fault lines might trigger massive earthquakes.

Think about it this way: If you put a cup of water in two freezers, and Freezer A had a lower temperature than Freezer B, the water in Freezer A would freeze quicker because it is in a colder environment. Hope this helps!
