Conservative boundary
can be very destructive. o or c plate. as plates move past one another friction makes them get stuck. no volcanoes
destructive plate boundary
c and o plate comhine. the oceanic plate subducts and causing friction earthquakes. the plate melts and releases steam and co2 causing energy release via volcanoes
constructive boundary
plates move apart and a gap is left causing shield volcanoes (not as destructove) and can cause earthquaoes
where do you find tectonic hazards
earthquakes on all plate boundaries and volcanoes on constructive and destructive.
