Answer to Question 1

Convergent plate boundaries with a subducting slab of oceanic lithosphere and an overlying plate form a megathrust fault. Because these large thrust faults lie beneath the ocean floor and experience vertical motion that can displace the overlying water, they are capable of generating destructive tsunamis.
