Some of the deadliest natural disasters have occurred due to convergent boundary processes . The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami was triggered by an earthquake along the convergent boundary of the Indian plate and Burma microplate and killed over 200,000 people . The 2011 tsunami off the coast of Japan , which caused 16,000 deaths and did US$ 360 billion in damage , was caused by a magnitude 9 earthquake along the convergent boundary of the Eurasian plate and Pacific Plate
