Tsunamis usually originate at plate boundaries, particularly at subduction zones, but once they are triggered they can cross thousands of miles of ocean, striking areas far from any plate boundary.
Far-field stresses triggered by portions of the northern boundary stress the African plate. Intraplate stresses are the driving forces in the South American plate
A volcanically active area of earth's surface, commonly far from a tectonic plate boundary is called a hot spot.
This is called a destructive plate boundary. It occurs due to the fact that the oceanic crust is far denser than the continental crust. As a result it subducts into the mantle and is incenerated. Hope it helped:)
NO
None. Kilauea is over a hot spot, far from the nearest plate boundary.

The city of Guatemala is actually over sea level at aprox. 1600 mts.
Its to do with the viscosity of the lava, the thicker (more viscous) the lava the slower and less far it will travel making a shield volcano. This happens on a constructive plate boundary. on a destructive plate boundary the lava is less viscous and runs further making a conical shaped volcano

In terms of population, Mexico City is by far the largest:Mexico City: 21.16 millionGuatemala City: 4.1 millionPanama City: 1.4 million

The far west coast, along California, is the location of a famous plate boundary known as the San Andreas Fault. This fault is a transform fault boundary, meaning that the Pacific plate to the west and the North American plate to the east rub against each other in a parallel motion but don't create new lithosphere or destroy old lithosphere. This fault is the reason for all the large and small earthquakes in the California area, including the San Francisco earthquake of 1906.
