What is the major type of stress at convergent plate boundaries?
Subduction, is when one plate is pushed down into the magma, by the other plate sliding over the top.
What type of boundary can create a trench?
"subduction"
What type of rock would most likely be at a subduction zone convergent boundary?
Sea floor bassalt and sediments.
What type of boundary is caused by subduction?

What is the plate tectonic process where one plate moves under another?
Subduction.
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 is the major type of stress at convergent plate boundaries?
Subduction, is when one plate is pushed down into the magma, by the other plate sliding over the top.
What type of stress is related to subduction zones?
Predominately compressive stress, where the two plates are being forced together, however there will be components of all three stresses! As where the downgoing plate bends, the upper half of the plate is effectively being stretched so this will be experiencing tensile stress. Where it scrapes beneath the overlying plate there will be shear stress.
What is formed at each type of boundary?
subduction

Subduction.
When the pacific plate is sliding under the oceanic crust of japan forming an island area what type of occurrence would this be?
This is called subduction.
What type of plate boundary is Mount St. Helens?
subduction
What type of landforms or activity can be found at a convergent boundary?
You could find mountains, valleys, faults, subduction zones, trenches, or experience volcanism or earthquakes.
