High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Megathrust earthquakes occur at subduction zones at destructive plate boundaries (convergent boundaries), where one tectonic plate is forced (or subducts) under another. Due to the shallow dip of the plate boundary, which causes large sections to get stuck, these earthquakes are among the world's largest, with moment magnitudes (Mw) that can exceed 9.0. Since 1900, all five earthquakes of magnitude 9.0 or greater have been megathrust earthquakes; in fact, no other type of known tectonic activity can produce earthquakes of this scale.
