Earthquakes can occur at any type of plate boundary, but the most powerful earthquakes tend to occur at convergent boundaries and at transform boundaries.

Convergent and divergent tectonic plate boundaries cause volcanoes. Both these and transform boundaries can cause earthquakes.

What kind of plates cause volcanoes?

Plates do not cause volcanoes. Volcanoes generally form at the boundaries between plates. They form at convergent and divergent boundaries.


What do Earthquakes and volcanoes show power of what kind of movement?

plate movement


What are the effects of fault movement?

Depends on what kind of boundary it is. In convergent boundaries, trenches and volcanoes can form where oceanic crust hits continental crust. Mountains form when two continental plates collide. In transform boundaries, earthquakes occur as the plates slide past each other and release tension. Earthquakes underwater can cause tsunamis. In divergent boundaries, faults can become more noticeable. Rifts are formed. Magma can rise from them and fill gaps, creating volcanic islands if underwater. Mid-ocean ridges in these boundaries. Signs of fault movement are all over the place.

What kind of boundary do Shield volcanoes form?

hot spots and convergent boundaries


What kind of boundaries have the most earthquakes?

It is plateaus, seismic waves and/or reverse fault


In what kind of situation might volcanoes form?

This type of convergence may result in the occurrence of deep earthquakes or the formation of volcanoes.


Which kind of boundary is seen in earthquakes that are normal faults?

Transform boundaries are seen in earthquakes that are caused by normal faults. Some types of faults are listric or ring faults.


What kind of landforms are formed at transform plate boundaries?

there are many landforms such as volcanoes moutains little islands and trenches may also form at the transformation plate boundaries. i think this is the answer


What kind of indirect evidence geologist use to study the structure of earth?

they use stuff like earthquakes and volcanoes to study it.


What kind of situation might volcanos form?

This type of convergence may result in the occurrence of deep earthquakes or the formation of volcanoes.


What kinds of volcanoes form on converging plate boundaries?

Composite cone volcanos are the most common.. Shielding and other types are results from a divergent boundary.
