Most tectonic activity takes place at a plate's edge or boundary. A plate moves as a single piece across the plastic top of the earth's mantle.
Subduction (or overriding) and sliding.
Where this is not smooth you get earthquakes.
Volcanoes usually occur on a major tectonic plate boundaries. Most occur near the edges of a plate, some occur in the middle of the plate.
Most earthquakes occur near plate boundaries.
Atlantic plate , pacific plate and north American plate
No. Not all plate boundaries are at the edges of continents, nor do all edges of continents correspond with plate boundaries. Many plate boundaries are found in the middle of oceans, while the continent of Africa is being torn apart by a developing plate boundary. Some edges of continents, such as the west coast of South America are near plate boundaries. These are called active continental margins. Others, such as the east coast of North America, are nowhere near plate boundaries. These are called passive continental margins.

What are geologic processes/vents that will occur because of this plate movement?
Volcanoes usually occur on a major tectonic plate boundaries. Most occur near the edges of a plate, some occur in the middle of the plate.
Along plate edges is where a lot of earthquakes occur. If you were to live along a plate boundary you would be putting yourself in danger of an earthquake.
calcification, resting, proliferation, hypertrophication
Earthquakes occur near faults and near the edges of plates in the earth's crust. Volcanic eruptions occur wherever a volcano is. Volcanic eruptions can occur when magma from below Earth's surface seeps through a weak spot in the crust. Volcanoes occur along plate boundaries, along the edges of plates, so this is where volcanoes occur also.
Earthquakes occur all the time all over the world, both along plate edges and along faults.
Earthquakes occur both along plate edges and along faults. Most earthquakes will occur near the edge of the oceanic and continental plates.
Europe and Asia have edges that are not ALL on plate boundaries.
Earthquakes are usually happen along the edges of the tectonic plates and are caused by the plates hitting together.
Europe and Asia have edges that are not ALL on plate boundaries.
