Question

when tectonic plates move, they can form different landforms. which is least likely to be associated with the tectonic plate movement that forms volcanoes? a hot spot b rift valley c subduction zone d transform boundary

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Hot - spots can form volcanoes as magma rises through the crust. Rift valleys can have volcanic activity due to plate separation. Subduction zones are common sites for volcanic formation as one plate is forced under another and melts to form magma. Transform boundaries mainly involve horizontal sliding of plates and are least likely to be directly associated with volcanic formation.

Answer:

D. transform boundary
