Which of the plate boundaries can create the largest earthquakes?

The largest earthquakes typically occur at convergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates collide and one is forced beneath another in a process called subduction. This intense pressure and friction can lead to significant stress accumulation, resulting in powerful earthquakes when released. Notable examples include the 2004 Sumatra earthquake and the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake, both of which originated at subduction zones.
