What will happen if a seafloor plate collides with a continental plate?
It will subduct under the less dense continental plate.
Is Washington going to have a big tsunami?
It will probably happen eventually. This is a plate boundary just of the cause that could trigger an earthquake and tsunami, but there's no telling when it will happen. Other areas along the Pacific could produce a tsunami that would reach Washington
Do earthquakes happen when a continental or oceanic plate moves over a hot spot?

What would happen if the continental crust and the oceanic crust went into each other?
In a convergent plate collision between continental and oceanic plates, the more dense oceanic plate would subduct, or move underneath, the less dense continental plate, eventually melting into the mantle at the leading edge.
What happens on plate collision boundaries?
the two equal plates push together and then they eventually pust up, to make mountains.(they have to be the same types of plates for this to happen!!) e.g. the himalayers
What will eventually happen to the active volcanoes on island of Hawaii which is now over the hot spots?
Hawaii sits on the moving Pacific plate. Beneath it is a powerful hot spot. Eventually, the plates movement will carry the island of hawaii away from the hot spot.
How did the Chilean earthquake happen?
the oceanic plate crased into the continental plate.
