The plate boundary the Chile earthquake occurred on in 2010 was the converging boundary. A converging boundary is when two plates move closer together.
In this case the converging boundary moved so close together that the plates hut one another. They then subducted under on another and the earthquake was formed.

What type of stress and what type of fault caused the Chilean earthquake?
The Chilean earthquake was caused by subduction zone stress, where the Nazca Plate slid beneath the South American Plate. The fault associated with this event was a megathrust fault, specifically the interface between the two plates.
What type of fault caused the great Kanto?

What type of earthquake hit Chile on the 27th of February 2010?
The Chilean earthquake had a magnitude of 8.8 and was a thrust fault earthquake that occurred at a convergent plate boundary where subduction of the Nazca plate under the South American plate is occurring. This type of thrust faulting at subduction zones is commonly referred to as a megathrust earthquake. Please see the related question for further information.

What type of fault is associated with the 1964 earthquake in alaska?
The 1964 earthquake in Alaska was caused by a megathrust fault associated with the subduction zone where the Pacific Plate is being pushed beneath the North American Plate. This type of fault is known as a megathrust or subduction zone fault.
Which type of location is earthquake risk the greattest?
On a fault line. For example, California is on the San Andreas fault, and as such is very earthquake prone.
What type of fault and near what zone did the japan earthquake occurred?
It happened along the Kego Fault zone.

What type of plate boundary was involved in earthquake kansu?
The Kansu earthquake took place on the Weihe Basin fault, not on a plate boundary. The Weihe Basin is a normal dip-slip fault.
What type of fault caused the 1556 shaanxi earthquake in china?
The 1556 Shaanxi earthquake in China was caused by a thrust fault. This type of fault occurs when two tectonic plates are compressed together, forcing one up and over the other. In this case, the thrust fault caused significant damage and loss of life in the region.
