Convergent boundaries are caused by the collision of two plates and can originate volcanoes. Transforming boundaries produce fractures by displacement. <em>The correct option is D. Type A boundaries have fewer volcanoes. </em>
----------------------------------------
The crust -the outermost layer of the earth- is divided into many plates that move over the mantle.
These plates are limited by three types of ridges or borders that differ in the movement they produce.
Boundaries types:
I. Divergent:
- This boundary occurs when two plates separate and molten material rises from the mantle creating a new crust.
- The hot material creates a new seabed between the separating plates, expanding the sea bottom.
II. Convergent.
- Collision area between two plates.
- Two oceanic plates might collide, or one oceanic plate with a continental one.
- In this last case, the oceanic crust sinks under the continental plate, and magma rises to the surface by crevices.
- The thicker and older plate subduces under the other plate.
- Collisions create volcanic arches and continental arches.
III. Transforming.
- The plates slide laterally with each other, and they are usually called faults.
- It is associated, in general, with the oceanic ridge, although it might also occur in the continental plate.
- No rocky material is either destroyed or formed.
- When the plates move and produce a displacement of one transforming limits from side to side, earthquakes occur.
- The movement breaks the crust and originates pronounced fractures.
In the attached images, we can see
- image A representing transforming boundaries,
- image B representing Convergent boundaries.
Image B is the one that can originate volcanoes because transforming boundaries only produce fractures.
So the correct option would be D.
