To understand this, we must first undertand why volcanoes form at convergent and deivergent boundaries. The material in earth's mantle is not molten, despite its extremely high temperature because it is under immense pressure. At a divergent plate boundary the crust is thinned, which reduces pressure on the upper mantle, allowing some of the rock to melt. This molten rock then rises up thoguh the crust to form volcanoes. At convergent boundaries where at least one plate is oceanic, an oceanic plate plunges into the mantle. The subducting plate takes water with it. This water seeps into the mantle, lowering the melting point of the rock, and allowing it to melt and rise to the surface.
At a transform plate boundary, plates simply slide past each other, and there is nothing that will lead to the melting of mantle material.
At transform plate boundaries, processes like subduction and seafloor spreading do not occur. Instead, these boundaries are characterized by the sliding past of two tectonic plates horizontally. There is no creation or destruction of crust at transform boundaries, only sideways movement.

Earthquake epicenters and volcanoes are primarily found along tectonic plate boundaries. Most earthquakes occur at convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries, while volcanoes are commonly associated with convergent boundaries (subduction zones) and divergent boundaries (mid-ocean ridges). The Pacific Ring of Fire, encircling the Pacific Ocean, is a significant region for both earthquakes and volcanoes, hosting numerous active sites. Additionally, hotspots in the middle of tectonic plates, like the Hawaiian Islands, also create volcanic activity.
Volcanoes are not found at transform boundaries because these boundaries involve the sliding of tectonic plates past each other horizontally, without any significant vertical movement. This movement does not create the conditions necessary for magma to rise to the surface and form volcanoes.

At transform boundaries, you will typically find rocks such as fault gouge, mylonite, and cataclasite. These rocks are formed due to intense shearing and fracturing processes that occur at transform boundaries as plates slide past each other horizontally.

Volcanoes form when tectonic plates move on the surface of the earth. It occurs at transform plate boundaries. Tectonic plates are always moving slowly, but when an oceanic plate converges with a continental plate, it creates a Subduction zone known where volcanoes are found.
