the answer to this question is a transform boundary. At a transform boundary plates slide past one another. Because tectonic plates have irregular edges, they grind and jerk as they slide, which produces earthquakes.

What type of boundary produces strike slip faults?
transform boundary
What type of plate boundary are most earthquakes found at?
All three type of Earthquakes (Shallow-seated, Medium-seated and Deep-seated) occur only at the Convergent plate boundary. At divergent plate boundary we find mostly Shallow-seated Earthquakes only.
Which type of plate boundary is responsible for the most powerful earthquakes?
Transform Boundaries are the cause of earthquakes.
Do shallow earthquakes seem to correlate to any particular type of plate boundary and what type of boundary?
Something something in a subduction zone
In what type of boundary do deep earthquakes occur in?
They occur at convergent boundaries where subduction is occurring.
Why type of plate boundary are most earthquakes near?
convergent boundary
What type of boundary has earthquakes transverse?
convergent
What type of boundary is responsible for earthquakes?
Divergent, transform, and convergent all have earthquakes
What boundary type is San Francisco on?
A transform boundary, which is known for causing earthquakes.
What type of plate boundary produces strong earthquakes?
Any type of plate boundary can cause an earthquake. That said, areas along convergent, divergent, and transform tectonic plate boundaries are the most likely places for earthquakes to occur.
What type of boundary produces shearing stress?
Transform Boundary
What type of boundary produces mountain?
convergent plate boundary

Which type of plate boundary is responsible for the most powerful earthquakes?
Transform Boundaries are the cause of earthquakes.
What Type of landform result at a convergent boundary?
mountains, volcanoes. earthquakes also, but earthquakes are not a landform.
What type of boundary is average strength earthquakes?
