It depends very much on the type of destructive plate margin. There are 3.
Oceanic plate to Oceanic plate. This type causes both. The volcano is due to magma rising The earthquakes form when one plate is subducted and tension or stress builds up due to friction. When this is released earthquakes occur. The name of the area where earthquakes occur is called the benioff zone.
This is also true of Oceanic to Continental.
Continental to Continental is different. And, i have no idea as my geology teachers have told me somehting different each time i ask. I know they produce earthquakes again due to pressure and release of said pressure. But volcanoes? I have been told both yes and no, however, i am inclined to say no.

What is the where 2 tectonic plates meet called?
a plate boundary there are constructive plate boundaries, destructive plate boundaries, conservative plate boundaries and collision plate boundaries
What plate tectonic settings does regional metamorphism occur?
Destructive plate boundaries.
What are somethings that convergent boundaries can create on the earth's surface?
Convergent plate boundaries are also know as destructive plate boundaries because of subduction. They are actively deforming regions where two or more tectonic plates or fragments of the lithosphere move toward one another and collide and form either a subduction zone or a continental collision. They form volcanoes like Mt. St. Helens, chains of volcanoes like the Pacific Ring of Fire, mountain ranges like the Cascade Mountains, and island arc with a deep oceanic trench in front like the Marina trench near the Marina Islands. The Himalayan Mountains, Southern Alps in New Zealand, Aleutian Islands, Andes Mountains, Pontic mountains in Turkey, etc. have been formed by convergent plate boundaries.
What is formed when plate boundaries collide?
Mountains.
What plate boundaries make mountains?
convergent
What do fold mountains and ocean trenches have in common?
They are both formed at destructive plate boundaries
What plate boundaries form mountains?
Mountains form at convergent plate boundaries.
Which boundary am i when plates collide into each other i can create mountains?
A destructive plate boundary.
What is the connection between mountains and plate boundaries?
mountains are usually formed on plate boundaries because earthquakes happen at plate boundaries. earthquakes can form mountains.
What is the where 2 tectonic plates meet called?
a plate boundary there are constructive plate boundaries, destructive plate boundaries, conservative plate boundaries and collision plate boundaries
What is another name for destructive boundaries?
Convergent plate boundaries.
Where do fold mountains form?
At destructive collision plate boundaries eg Alps (collision of African and Eurasian plates)
Deep-focus earthquakes are associated with what plate boundaries?
destructive or convergent boundaries
Why do you find fold mountains at destructive plate boundaries?
Folded mountains are formed when two of the tectonic plates that make up Earth's crust push together at the border. The extreme pressure forces the edges of the plates upwards into a series of folds.
Are the Alps volcanoes or mountains?
They are mountains which have been raised as a result from destructive plate boundaries where the Australian-Indian plate collides with the Eurasian plate. Thus in turn as the continental crust cannot be driven downwards it is raised to form theis mountain range.
What plate tectonic settings does regional metamorphism occur?
Destructive plate boundaries.
What type of plate boundary form of mountains?
Mountains form at convergent plate boundaries.
