Our transcription: Earthquakes, too, are more powerful at convergent than at divergent boundaries because of greater levels of stress resulting from plate collision. It is this earthquake activity together with crumpling and folding of the crust that creates the mountain ranges like the Andes along continental margins overlying subduction zones.
