How does an earthquake take place along a convergent plate boundary?

An earthquake occurs along a convergent plate boundary when two tectonic plates collide, with one plate being forced beneath the other in a process known as subduction. The intense pressure and friction between the plates cause stress to build up until it is released as seismic energy, resulting in an earthquake. This often generates powerful tremors and can lead to significant geological activity, including volcanic eruptions. The location and depth of these earthquakes can vary depending on the specific dynamics of the interacting plates.
