Preparedness and awareness can help mitigate the effects of earthquakes on communities.
What type of boundary has the most earthquakes with high magnitudes?
Convergent boundaries typically have the most earthquakes with high magnitudes because they involve the collision of tectonic plates, leading to intense pressure and stress that can be released in the form of large earthquakes. Examples of convergent boundaries with high-magnitude earthquakes include the Ring of Fire around the Pacific Plate.
