Destructive plate boundaries / conservative boundaries , but destructives boundaries are the worse because volcanoes and earthquakes occur here. The collision of the 2 plates create tension and release seismic waves , also because of this the oceanic plate is dragged downwards (subduction) creates a ocean trench , as it sinks it melts and creates magma , this is leeds to volcanoes erupting

I'd have to say the Southern Eurasian plate and the Western part of "our" North American plate (mainly around California) both have a lot of above sea level activity. The most activity below or right at sea level would possibly be the Philippines plate.
