How far is Guatemala city from a plate boundary?
what is the closest plate boundary to Guatemala ?
Is a tsunami found at a plate boundary?
Tsunamis usually originate at plate boundaries, particularly at subduction zones, but once they are triggered they can cross thousands of miles of ocean, striking areas far from any plate boundary.
What stresses the South American plate and the African Plate?
Far-field stresses triggered by portions of the northern boundary stress the African plate. Intraplate stresses are the driving forces in the South American plate
What two landforms are formed far from the plate boundaries?
The two plates are; Indo-Australian Plate subducts and Pacific Plate that form the Puysegur Trench.
How do write a sentence hot spot?
A volcanically active area of earth's surface, commonly far from a tectonic plate boundary is called a hot spot.
Why does a constructive plate boundary produce a shield shape and a destructive plate boundary produce a cone shape?
Its to do with the viscosity of the lava, the thicker (more viscous) the lava the slower and less far it will travel making a shield volcano. This happens on a constructive plate boundary. on a destructive plate boundary the lava is less viscous and runs further making a conical shaped volcano
How far is Guatemala city from a plate boundary?
what is the closest plate boundary to Guatemala ?
Far from plate boundaries a volcano may form over a hot spot?
True.
What type of plate boundary is creating kilauea?
None. Kilauea is over a hot spot, far from the nearest plate boundary.
How far is Hawaii from a plate boundary?
2000 miles

What is an area of volcanic activity far from a tectonic plate boundary?
mantle plume
What stresses the South American plate and the African Plate?
Far-field stresses triggered by portions of the northern boundary stress the African plate. Intraplate stresses are the driving forces in the South American plate
Volcanoes that form far from plate boundaries form as the result as?
Hot spots!

Volcanoes usually formed as a result of?
Volcanoes do not form in just any place. There are certain places on earth where they form.Most volcanoes form at convergent boundaries. These boundaries are between two plates that move toward each other.These boundaries are in form of trenches, ocean ridges and transform faults.The area where many volcanoes have form is around the pacific plate. This area is called the Pacific Ring of Fire.A volcano may also form at a divergent boundarywhere two plates move away from each other. When two plates pull apart, a long, deep crack called a rift is formed. Magma flows through the rift and builds up, resulting in the formation of volcanic islands.Some volcanoes form far from the edges of a plate. The Hawaiian Islands which are volcanic islands are located in the middle of the pacific plate. Scientists believe that the islands sit on top of a hot spot under the Pacific Plate. A hot spot can melt rocks. Magma deep inside the earth flowed to the crust to form volcanoes. The volcanoes that rose above the ocean formed the Hawaiian Islands.
