Answer:

Transform boundary

Step-by-step explanation:

The boundary that is a site of recurring earthquake and faulting activities is the transform boundary.

At a transform boundary, there is a significantly high prevalence of earthquakes and faulting.

  • In this margin, plates slides past one another laterally along a strike - slip direction.
  • This brings about significant shearing and crushing of rocks.
  • It leads to series of earthquakes and faults
  • One notable example is the San Andreas fault
