Convergent boundaries because they build up the most pressure.

Is divergent plate movement associated with the strongest earthquakes?
Although earthquakes can occur anywhere on the planet with little or no warning, the strongest earthquakes occur near the plate boundaries, as the plates converge (collide), diverge (move away from another)
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.
What happens to plates at a transform plate boundary?
earthquakes occur where there are transformed boundaries.
What kind of plate boundary is Pingvellir National Park located at?
It is divergent between the North American and Eurasian plates. Volcanoes and earthquakes do occur along the boundary.
What plate boundary do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.

Are earthquakes divergent convergent or transform?
Earthquakes occur at all three types of plate boundary.
Do earthquakes most often occur at faults that are away from plate boundary?
Earthquakes infrequently occur away from plate boundaries. Most earthquakes occur at plate boundaries because of the stress caused by the interacting plates.

they occur at transform boundaries

What happens to plates at a transform plate boundary?
earthquakes occur where there are transformed boundaries.
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.
Do most earthquakes and volcanoes occur within plates or along the boundaries of plates?
Earthquakes and volcanoes occur mostly near the convergent plate boundary.
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 does Britain not get effected by earthquakes?
Britain is effected by earthquakes. However because Britain is not near a tectonic plate boundary, the earthquakes that occur tend to be low in magnitude.
Is a destructive plate boundary hazardous?
Very much so. This is where volcanoes, earthquakes and even tsunamis can occur.
