There are 3 ways an earthquake can be caused:
destructive margin: this can cause an earthquake and volcano and is the most dangerous margin. it is when one plate slides under another.
collision margin: this only creates earthquakes, and it is when two plates move towards each other and collide.
conservative margin: this is when plates slide against each other, like San Andrea's Fault, California. They only create earthquakes.
Hope this helps ! xx

What is the type of movement that occurs at each type of plate boundary?
each plate boundary has a different boundaries. if you want the movement for a specific plate boundary, write the name of the plate boundary. :]
What type of plate boundary occurs between the Nazca and South American Plate?
A convergent plate boundary occurs between the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate. The Nazca Plate is subducting beneath the South American Plate, leading to the formation of the Andes mountain range.
What type of plate boundary occurs between the Philippine plate and the Pacific plate?
it does not lie on a plte boundary but near the pacific plate
What type of boundary occurs at the Great Rift Valley in Africa?
divergent plate boundary
Is a plate margin and a plate boundary the same?
No,plate margin&plate boundary are not same.plate boundaries are definite regions where tectonic occurs,while margins are surface lines.
What type of plate occurs between north America and Eurasian plate?
divergent boundary
What type of boundary occurs between the max a plate and the South American plate?
Convergent on the western perimeter, divergent on the Easter perimeter.
What type of plate boundary occurs west of the Andes?
Divergent
What type of plate stress twists a rock?
Usually occurs at plate boundary collision areas.
Which plate boundary occurs as continental crust collides with continental crust?
Convergent plate boundaries.
Which type of boundary interactions does a dive into the mantle entail?
This occurs at a convergent plate boundary and is known as subduction.
What types of stress occurs at a divergent plate boundary?
Tensional stress
