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.
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
Earthquakes form at a Transform boundary when the plate slips past each other.
highly movable plate boundary quakes
Morocco is at a low risk for earthquakes because it is not in close proximity to a tectonic plate boundary.
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.
A transformational plate boundary forms earthquakes.
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
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.

A transformational plate boundary forms earthquakes.
They are similar because they both form volcanoes and earthquakes.
The worst plate boundary is the north american plate with the recorded worst for earthquakes
The plate boundary associated with earthquakes in Alaska is primarily a transform boundary, where the Pacific Plate slides horizontally past the North American Plate along the Aleutian Trench. This movement causes frequent seismic activity in the region.
Earthquakes form at a Transform boundary when the plate slips past each other.
Transform boundary
Because it is on a plate boundary.
