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.

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.
Do earthquakes occur in plate interiors?
yes earthquakes happen at all types of plate boundaries but most of them occur at destructive, collisional, and conservative plate boundaries
Where do convergent plate boundaries occur in the world?
The most common type of plate boundary is a convergent/compressional/destructive plate boundary. The plates are moving together. Examples of this are: Soufriere Hills volcano - the Atlantic plate is subducting underneath the Caribbean plate. Mt Pinatubo - the Phillippine plate is subducting beneath the indo-Australian plate. You get volcanoes and earthquakes at these plate boundaries. :) Hope this helped.
Where do earthquakes occur the most - near plate boundaries or far away from plate boundaries?
Near plate boundaries. (Thank you teacher for explaining)
What is the where 2 tectonic plates meet called?

What is another name for destructive boundaries?
Convergent plate boundaries.
Deep-focus earthquakes are associated with what plate boundaries?
destructive or convergent boundaries
What plate tectonic settings does regional metamorphism occur?
Destructive plate boundaries.
Where are the majority of earthquakes and volcanoes in relation to the plate boundaries?
Most earthquakes occur on plate boundaries such as Japan and Chile and most volcanoes occur in diverging plate boundaries like Dallol and Iceland and the Pacific Ring of Fire like Ecuador and Indonesia
Are there maps of plate boundaries for mt st Helen's?
Yeah there are maps for the Mt St Helens plate boundaries. Type into google Juan de Fuca plate boundaries It is a destructive plate boundary
Do earthquakes occur in plate interiors?
yes earthquakes happen at all types of plate boundaries but most of them occur at destructive, collisional, and conservative plate boundaries
Why are new igneous rocks formed at constructive and destructive plate boundaries?
dont no
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.
Which plate movement relies on the weight of the subduction crust?
This happens in front of Island Arcs and in at destructive plate boundaries.
What plate boundary type is Mt Merapi Indonesia?
Destructive Plate boundaries It's actually above a subduction zone
What do fold mountains and ocean trenches have in common?
They are both formed at destructive plate boundaries
