Transform Boundaries are the cause of earthquakes.
The type of plate boundary with the most occurrences of earthquakes is the convergent boundary, where two tectonic plates collide. The intense pressure and stress caused by the collision can result in frequent seismic activity and powerful earthquakes.
The plate boundary associated with earthquakes in Alaska is primarily a transform boundary, where the Pacific Plate slides horizontally past the North American Plate along the Aleutian Trench. This movement causes frequent seismic activity in the region.
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.
The reason why San Francisco and the Bay area are at risk from powerful earthquakes is because of the San Andreas Fault.also, the two tectonic plates, are the pacific plate and the American plate.
The Peru-Chile Trench is a convergent plate boundary, where the Nazca Plate is subducting beneath the South American Plate. This subduction zone is associated with frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity.
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.
A transformational plate boundary forms earthquakes.
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
The plate boundary between the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate does produce volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis. Hurricanes have nothing to do with plate boundaries.

They are similar because they both form volcanoes and earthquakes.
The worst plate boundary is the north american plate with the recorded worst for earthquakes

Earthquakes form at a Transform boundary when the plate slips past each other.
