The Kamchatka tsunami, which occurred as a result of the 2003 earthquake off the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia, was primarily associated with the subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the North American Plate. This tectonic interaction is characteristic of convergent plate boundaries, where one plate is forced under another, leading to significant seismic activity and the potential for tsunamis. The region is known for its geological activity due to this subduction process.
