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.
Earthquakes can, and do, occur at divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
Transform boundaries do not produce volcanic activity.
Plate boundaries around Japan are convergent boundaries ie two plates are sliding towards each other. Japan has been formed as a result of the subduction of the Philippine Sea Plate beneath the continental Amurian Plate and Okinawa Plate to the south, and subduction of the Pacific Plate under the Okhotsk Plate to the north.
Strike-Slip faults are found at transform boundaries because strike slip faults push and pull on opposing forces HORIZONTALLY exactly like a transform boundary.
That is called a boundary or a transform-fault boundary. :D

There are three primary types of tectonic plate boundaries. They pertain of Divergent boundaries, Convergent boundaries and Transform-fault boundaries.
There are three main plate boundaries, convergent plate boundaries,divergent plate boundaries and transform fault boundaries. Convergent plate boundaries are when the plates collide together, this often causes mountain building. Divergent plate boundaries are when plates are moving apart, this is what caused the Mid Atlantic Ridges. Transform Fault Boundaries is when they move past each other horizontally, this boundary dosent cause any new landforms.
Transform boundaries are particularly likely to cause earthquakes.
Earthquakes are very common along transform boundaries. An example of a transform boundary is the San Andreas fault in California.
earthquakes indicate both convergent,divergent and transform fault plate boundaries
this kind of fault occurs at a transform plate boundaries
There are divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
There are three main types: Convergent boundaries (where two plates are being pushed together) Divergent boundaries (where two plates are being pulled apart) Transform boundaries (where two plates are sliding past each other).
traverse fault
This is known as a transform boundary or a strike-slip fault; the U.S. famous one being the San Andreas Fault.
