Usually, but not always. Earthquakes are caused when solid slabs of earth are either pulled apart allowing magma from the Earth's core to rise up in the crack or when solid slabs are forced together. This most commonly happens at the boundaries betweent the major tectonic plates but can happen anywhere a crack develops in the plate.
No. Glaciers that occur near plate boundaries are only coincidental.
yes earthquakes happen at all types of plate boundaries but most of them occur at destructive, collisional, and conservative plate boundaries
Earthquakes infrequently occur away from plate boundaries. Most earthquakes occur at plate boundaries because of the stress caused by the interacting plates.
Convergent plate boundaries.
Near plate boundaries. (Thank you teacher for explaining)
Convergent plate boundaries, and in particular, oceanic plate to continental plate collisions, may pose the most risk because of the possibility of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
destructive or convergent boundaries
mountains are usually formed on plate boundaries because earthquakes happen at plate boundaries. earthquakes can form mountains.

Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
Yes, but not as often as earthquakes happen near plate boundaries
Plate Boundaries
Convergent plate boundaries.
Although earthquakes can occur anywhere on the planet with little or no warning, the strongest earthquakes occur near the plate boundaries, as the plates converge (collide), diverge (move away from another)
Oklahoma is located entirely on the North American Plate well away from any plate boundaries. The earthquakes that have been striking Oklahoma are intraplate earthquakes associated with stresses and faults in the interior of the plate.
