The 1964 earthquake in Anchorage, Alaska occurred as a result of an oceanic plate sinking under a continental or land plate. Two types of tsunami were produced as a result of this massive quake.

No, the 2011 Japan earthquake was a megathrust earthquake, specifically a subduction zone earthquake. It occurred along the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, where the Pacific Plate is subducting beneath the North American Plate.
The 1964 Alaska earthquake occurred along a megathrust fault, specifically the boundary between the Pacific and North American tectonic plates. This subduction zone fault is known as the Aleutian Trench where the Pacific plate is being thrust beneath the North American plate.
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.
The 1755 Lisbon earthquake occurred at the boundary between the African Plate and the Eurasian Plate. This boundary is known as a convergent boundary, where the two plates are colliding, causing seismic activity.

Mount Veniaminof in Alaska is located along the Aleutian subduction zone, which is a convergent plate boundary where the Pacific Plate is being subducted beneath the North American Plate. This subduction zone is characterized by frequent volcanic activity and seismic events due to the collision of the two tectonic plates.
