... Plate movement causes earthquakes (and makes mountains, volcanoes and new ocean crust), therefore these things occur mostly along active plate boundaries. There are three types of plate boundaries: convergent, divergent, transform. Convergent: Subduction happens if it is ocean and continental ...
