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 plate boundary do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
What forms at a transform boundary?
Earthquakes form at a Transform boundary when the plate slips past each other.
What are the two kinds of earthquakes?
highly movable plate boundary quakes
Is Morroco at risk from earthquakes?
Morocco is at a low risk for earthquakes because it is not in close proximity to a tectonic plate boundary.
Which type of boundary do most earthquakes occur why?
Plate boundaries around Japan are convergent boundaries ie two plates are sliding towards each other. Japan has been formed as a result of the subduction of the Philippine Sea Plate beneath the continental Amurian Plate and Okinawa Plate to the south, and subduction of the Pacific Plate under the Okhotsk Plate to the north.
What plate boundary do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
What does a transformational plate boundary form?
A transformational plate boundary forms earthquakes.
Are there earthquakes volcanoes hurricanes and tsunamis at he nazca plate boundary?
The plate boundary between the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate does produce volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis. Hurricanes have nothing to do with plate boundaries.
Why type of plate boundary are most earthquakes near?
convergent 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.
What was the plate boundary at the new Madrid earthquake in 1811?
The 1811-1812 New Madrid earthquakes are a rare example of large earthquakes occurring in the middle of a plate, there was no plate boundary involved.
What does transform plates boundary form?
A transformational plate boundary forms earthquakes.
What type of boundary produces mountain?
convergent plate boundary
What plate boundary produces new land?
transform boundary
How is similar divergent plate boundary and transform plate boundary?
They are similar because they both form volcanoes and earthquakes.
What forms at a transform boundary?
Earthquakes form at a Transform boundary when the plate slips past each other.
What is the plate boundary?
The worst plate boundary is the north american plate with the recorded worst for earthquakes
