What plate boundaries are the most destructive?

Convergent plate boundaries tend to be the most destructive because they involve the collision of tectonic plates, leading to intense seismic activity, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges. Subduction zones, where one plate is forced beneath another, are particularly hazardous due to the potential for powerful earthquakes and tsunamis.


Can one plate have several types of plate boundaries?

All of the tectonic plates have different types of plate boundaries, most having all three types of plate boundaries. Convergent, where the plate is subducting under another plate, divergent, where the plate is pulling away from another plate, and transform boundaries where the plates are sliding past each other.

How plate tectonic causes tsunami?

Sometimes when plates move alongside or toward each other, great amounts of potential energy are stored in the plate boundaries. This is eventually released in the form of an earthquake. A very large undersea earthquake can cause a tsunami.
