There are two reasons. First, the movement along plate boundaries and the accompanying folding and faulting can create hills and mountains. If the slopes become too steep they are unstable and prone to landslides. Second, movement along plate boundaries also generates earthquakes, which can trigger landslides.
What else can I help you with?
Do tsunamis form at plate boundaries?
Usually, yes. Most tsunamis are generated at subduction zones. However, tsunamis can occur away from plate boundaries if they are triggered by landslides or meteor impacts.
What type of plate boundary does compression occur?
Converging Plate Boundaries
Where do plate boundary movements occur?
At plate boundaries.
How did plate tectonics make earthquakes landslides and tidal waves?
Plate tectonics cause earthquakes when tectonic plates move and release built-up stress at their boundaries. Landslides can occur during earthquakes when the shaking of the ground causes slope failures. Tidal waves, or tsunamis, can be generated by underwater earthquakes or landslides that displace large volumes of water.
Where do most of earth volcanoes and earthquakes occur?
along plate boundaries
Do tsunamis form at plate boundaries?
Usually, yes. Most tsunamis are generated at subduction zones. However, tsunamis can occur away from plate boundaries if they are triggered by landslides or meteor impacts.
What type of plate boundary does compression occur?
Converging Plate Boundaries
Where do plate boundary movements occur?
At plate boundaries.
What plate boundary do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
Do most severe earthquakes occur at plate boundaries or in the middle of plates?
Plate Boundaries

What types of Volcanoes can occur far from any plate boundaries?
Shield volcanoes may occur far from any plate boundaries.
What can occur at divergent plate boundaries?
plant boundaries move together
Where do most of earth volcanoes and earthquakes occur?
along plate boundaries
What type of plate boundarries found in andesitic valcano?
Plate boundaries are not found in volcanoes.Volcanoes occur along plate boundaries usually along convergent boundaries
Do earthquakes most often occur at faults that are away from plate boundary?
Earthquakes infrequently occur away from plate boundaries. Most earthquakes occur at plate boundaries because of the stress caused by the interacting plates.
Earthquakes and occur at plate boundaries?
Volcanoes
