It can cause earthquakes, volcanoes, oceanic trenches, mountains, tsunamis, and subduction.

What is primary cause of volcanoes and earthquakes?

Convergent and transform boundaries


What kind of boundaries can cause earthquakes and volcanoes?

Earthquakes can occur at any type of plate boundary, but the most powerful earthquakes tend to occur at convergent boundaries and at transform boundaries.


What type of plate boundary with the most occurrences of earthquake?

Transform boundaries are particularly likely to cause earthquakes.


What type of plate boundary produces strong earthquakes?

Any type of plate boundary can cause an earthquake. That said, areas along convergent, divergent, and transform tectonic plate boundaries are the most likely places for earthquakes to occur.


What plate boundary can cause volcanoes?

What type of boundaries cause volcanoes? Divergent and transform fault boundaries cause volcanoes because they separate. Convergent boundaries cause earthquakes because they collide with other plates.


Fault boundaries are especally likely to cause earthquakes?

Transform boundaries are particularly likely to cause earthquakes.


Can convergent boundaries cause earthquakes?

yes they can because they run into each other


Which type of plate boundary is responsible for the most powerful earthquakes?

Transform Boundaries are the cause of earthquakes.


What landforms occur on transform boundaries?

Rocks can form rift valleys and mountains.


what structures are created at each type of convergent boundaries?

Convergent boundaries are where two tectonic plates hit each other. This can cause earthquakes, but can also create mountains.


What natural process is causing the motion of earth plates?

the mantle is pressuring the plates above which cause the boundaries we learned about to begin. The boundaries are: Convergent, Divergent, and Transform. the plates will have moved because of the boundaries either one of those three. This all will cause earthquakes and other things that i will learn about through the years of my education.


Where do earthquakes and volcanos occur?

Volcanoes tend to form at convergent tectonic plate boundaries where subduction is occurring (such as the western coast of South America) and at divergent plate boundaries where two tectonic plates are moving apart (e.g. the Mid-Atlantic-Ridge and Iceland). Earthquakes also occur at convergent boundaries and in fact these tend to cause the strongest earthquakes. Earthquakes also occur at transform boundaries (such as the San Andreas fault) however these do not tend to cause the formation of volcanoes. So to find volcanoes and large earthquakes you should be looking at convergent plate boundaries where subduction is occurring.
