Ocean-continental convergent boundaries can produce earthquakes and volcanic activity. As the ocean plates shift under each other they near their melting temperature and can form magma and solidify to form underwater mountain ranges.
scientists believe that the volcano and earthquakes activity in this area are due to the formation of new part of the Earth's crust along the ridge
Earthquakes in Japan are caused by the movement of tectonic plates. A tsunami is a large ocean wave that is caused by sudden motion on the ocean floor which can be triggered by earthquakes.
Pacific Ocean
The volcanic eruptions are the cause of tectonic movement of the "plates" meaning that when the plates hit each other they cause the magma under the earth to rise and sometimes erupt causing ash and sometimes lava to leave the volcanic shell in an eruption

The Ring of Fire.
The Pacific Ring of Fire, which encircles the Pacific Ocean, is known for its high levels of earthquake and volcanic activity. This region is home to about 75% of the world's active volcanoes and experiences a large number of earthquakes due to tectonic plate movements.
A tsunami is a series of ocean waves generated by sudden displacements in the sea floor due to earthquakes, volcanic activity, or underwater explosions.
The continental margins of the Pacific Ocean
Pacific Ocean rim.
A place known for its volcanic activity is the Ring of Fire, which encircles the Pacific Ocean and includes countries like Japan, Indonesia, and the United States. This region is home to a large number of active volcanoes and experiences frequent earthquakes as well. Visitors can witness volcanic eruptions and geothermal features in areas like Hawaii, Iceland, and New Zealand.
Large earthquakes are not caused by volcanic activity - it can be the other way around, when nearby earthquakes trigger eruptions by destabilizing the magma structures.
The Mid Atlantic-Rift is the name for the region of volcanic activity in the Atlantic ocean.
Earthquakes can cause tsunamis, along with landslides and volcanic activity in the sea. Practically any disturbance in the ocean can cause a tsunami, and most major tsunamis are caused by earthquakes.
The Pacific Ring of Fire is a horseshoe-shaped region in the Pacific Ocean basin known for frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity. It is home to approximately 75% of the world's active volcanoes and experiences about 90% of the world's earthquakes. The Ring of Fire is located along the edges of the Pacific Plate, where it intersects with other tectonic plates.
The Ring of Fire is a region in the Pacific Ocean known for its frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity. The temperatures within the Ring of Fire vary depending on the specific locations of volcanic activity, but volcanic eruptions can reach temperatures as high as 1,300 degrees Fahrenheit.
