Here's why:

* Convergent boundaries are where tectonic plates collide. This collision creates immense pressure and friction, leading to:

* Subduction zones: One plate dives beneath the other. The process is extremely forceful and generates a lot of seismic energy.

* Mountain building: The collision causes the land to buckle and fold, creating mountain ranges like the Himalayas.

While earthquakes can also occur at divergent boundaries (where plates pull apart) and transform boundaries (where plates slide past each other), they are generally less frequent and less powerful than those found at convergent boundaries.
