Why is it more hazardous to live near destruction margins than constructive ones?

A constructive plate boundary means that the two tectonic plates are moving apart and are therefore constructing new 'land'. The magma rises up in the gap between these two plates which creates this new land. This is why there are volcanoes that seem to just 'appear' in the middle of the ocean. These plates are not as dangerous as destructive ones as the plates never meet and subsequently never cause a build up of friction pressure. An example of this type of plate boundary is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between Europe / Africa and The Americas. The volcanic Azores islands are good examples of this 'new land' that forms when the magma rises up. A destructive plate boundary is the opposite of this. The two plates are moving towards each other, one subsiding beneath the other, however the plates could also be moving side by side. Whichever type of destructive plate it is, it is more dangerous to live near this type of boundary. As the two plates move past each other, pressure builds up due to the friction between them. This pressure sometime or other has to be released in the form of an earthquake, a severe one if the pressure is sufficient. This type of plate boundary can cause tsunamis if it in located beneath the ocean. An example of this type of boundary is the subduction of the Nazca plate underneath the South American plate. This type of boundary also forms mountain ranges.
