convergence plate boundary, where tectonic plates move towards each other and collide, leading to subduction zones which are highly constructive regions of volcanoes.
Volcanoes also form at divergent plate boundaries. A good example being the numerous Icelandic volcanoes which have formed over he Mid Atlantic Ridge.

∙ 10y agoThey are often the result of subduction but actually any plate movement could generate an earthquake and that could create tsunami if the associated earthquake tirgges a landslide.

What type of plate boundary causes a trench to form?
Diverging Plate Boundaries
Which type of plate movement occurs at transform boundaries?
strike-slip
What is thought to be the driving mechanism of plate movement?
slab-pull
Which diagram best represents the type of plate movement that results in mountain building?
fyuu
What type of plate movement causes fault-block mountains to form?
Lateral movements of diverging plates.
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.
What type of plate movement forms volcanoes in iceland?

What type of plate movement is able to produce a chain of islands?
the divergent plate movement
What is the type of movement that occurs at each type of plate boundary?
each plate boundary has a different boundaries. if you want the movement for a specific plate boundary, write the name of the plate boundary. :]
