Convergent plate boundaries, and in particular, oceanic plate to continental plate collisions, may pose the most risk because of the possibility of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

What is another name for destructive boundaries?

Another name for destructive boundaries is toxic boundaries. These are boundaries that harm rather than support individuals in relationships or interactions.

What type of plate boundary produces strong earthquakes?

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.

This is also known as destructive boundary?

A destructive boundary is a certain type of boundary of a tectonic plate. Destructive boundaries make the plates move toards each other and eventually collide. This is why they are often called collision boundaries.


Where do convergent plate boundaries occur in the world?

The most common type of plate boundary is a convergent/compressional/destructive plate boundary. The plates are moving together. Examples of this are: Soufriere Hills volcano - the Atlantic plate is subducting underneath the Caribbean plate. Mt Pinatubo - the Phillippine plate is subducting beneath the indo-Australian plate. You get volcanoes and earthquakes at these plate boundaries. :) Hope this helped.


Where are earthquakes and volcanoes found around the world?

Where tectonic plates are converging and diverging with each otherThey are mostly found around the Pacific "Ring of Fire", and more generally on any destructive or contstructive plate boundary.Most occur on destructive plate boundaries. The Pacific 'ring of fire' is an example of a long series of destructive plate margins and most volcanoes and earthquakes on Earth are on it.


What type of plate boundary is foud where the gorda plate meets the north american plate?

The boundary between the Gorda plate and the North American Plate is a transform boundary. Transform boundaries that lie at near land are the most destructive, which is the case in Southern California, which is close to this plate boundary.
