The plate boundary the Chile earthquake occurred on in 2010 was the converging boundary. A converging boundary is when two plates move closer together.
In this case the converging boundary moved so close together that the plates hut one another. They then subducted under on another and the earthquake was formed.

What type of stress and what type of fault caused the Chilean earthquake?
Compressive stress which led to thrust faulting at a convergent boundary where subduction is occurring. Please see the related question for more information.
What type of fault is associated with the 1964 earthquake in alaska?
the fault that is assicuated with the 1964 earthquake in Alaska is a reverse fault
What type of earthquake hit Chile on the 27th of February 2010?
The Chilean earthquake had a magnitude of 8.8 and was a thrust fault earthquake that occurred at a convergent plate boundary where subduction of the Nazca plate under the South American plate is occurring. This type of thrust faulting at subduction zones is commonly referred to as a megathrust earthquake. Please see the related question for further information.

What type of fault is Shakespeare Bridge which was caused by northridge earthquake?
normal fault and reverse fault.
Which type of location is earthquake risk the greattest?
On a fault line. For example, California is on the San Andreas fault, and as such is very earthquake prone.
What type of fault and near what zone did the japan earthquake occurred?
It happened along the Kego Fault zone.
At what type of boundary did the 1960 Chilean earthquake occur?
At a convergent boundary between oceanic and continental crust where subduction is occurring.
Which type of fault do most earthquake occur along?
strike slip
