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 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 margin did the Haiti earthquake occur at?
Transform boundary
What type of plate boundary are most tsunamis associated with?
Transform boundry, or what's known as shearing. It causes the plates to move past each other causing earthquakes in any areas.
On which type of plate boundary do island arcs occur?
convergent boundaries
What type of plate boundary dose mount fuji occur at or is it hot spot volcano?
convergent plate boundary
What type of plate boundary do most earthquakes occur near to or along?
they occur at transform boundaries
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.
In what type of boundary do deep earthquakes occur in?
They occur at convergent boundaries where subduction is occurring.
At what type of plate boundary do the strongest earthquakes occur?
Convergent boundaries because they build up the most pressure.
What kind of boundaries can cause earthquakes and volcanoes?
Earthquakes can occur at any type of plate boundary, but the most powerful earthquakes tend to occur at convergent boundaries and at transform boundaries.
Why type of plate boundary are most earthquakes near?
convergent boundary
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.
Which type of plate boundary is responsible for the most powerful earthquakes?
Transform Boundaries are the cause of earthquakes.
What is the least dangerous plate boundary?
According to scientific studies, the least dangerous plate boundary is the divergent boundary. Only moderate earthquakes occur in this type of boundary compared to convergent and transform plate boundaries.
What type of boundary has earthquakes transverse?
convergent
What type of natural disaster happens at a transform boundary?
Earthquakes are the natural phenomenon that often occur at transform boundaries. An example is the San Andreas Fault, which has caused several catastrophic earthquakes.
Which type of plate boundary has most earthquakes?
it is transform because bot plates are grinding together
