A conservative margin is when two plates are moving past eachother. However as they often can, they stick. The release of the two plates sticking creates pressure, which means severe earthquakes. But because no oceanic crust was destroyed or created there were no volcanic eruptions. :)

What is the magnitude of an earthquake along a conservative margin?
Generally up to 8.5 on the Richter Scale but usually shallow too, down to 25km. Not the largest, but in the case of the San Andreas Fault, N American and Pacific Plates, the effects are largely publicised. The conservative margin is usually located under water/oceans.

How do plate tectonics cause earth quakes?
Plate tectonics move. But the plate margin that cause strong earthquakes are collision and conservative plate margins. I hope it helped!
What plate boundary does eartquake occurs?
There are 3 ways an earthquake can be caused: destructive margin: this can cause an earthquake and volcano and is the most dangerous margin. it is when one plate slides under another. collision margin: this only creates earthquakes, and it is when two plates move towards each other and collide. conservative margin: this is when plates slide against each other, like San Andrea's Fault, California. They only create earthquakes. Hope this helps ! xx
