What is the plate boundary of White Island Volcano?
It's either divergent or hot spot, I think. Still searching
North Atlantic Ocean is a volcanic island formed over a hot spot on a divergent plate boundary?
The Hawaiin Islands
Is Yellowstone located at a divergent plate boundary?
Yellowstone is situated within a tectonic plate, not at a plate boundary! Volcanic activity is thought to be as a result of a mantle plume, much like the volcanism that created the Hawaiian Island chain.
Which boundary forms new crust?
Crust is formed at the edge of a tectonic plate by, when a volcano erupts, the lava or magma (same thing) hits the edge of a tectonic plate and cools and dries on the edge of that tectonic plate.
Which convergent plate boundary forms when two oceanic plates collide?
A DESTRUCTIVE or CONVERGENT plate boundary. e.g. Japan and the Pacific Ocean A DIVERGENT plate boundary is one in which the tectonic plates are separating/. e.g. The Mid-Atlantic ridge. A TRANSFORM plate boundary is one were the plates slide past each other. e.g. part of the San Andreas fault in California.
What landform are formed at a divergent boundary?
landforms associated with divergent boundaries are known as island arc orogeny and they lead to formation of islands and volcanoes along with trenches. example would be Japanese island, aleutian island etc.

What type of plate boundary is Easter Island?
Easter Island is located on a convergent plate boundary.
What type of boundary is Easter island?
Easter Island is located on a convergent plate boundary.
What is a diverging plate boundry?
2 plate tectonic plates that move away from each other. The most active divergent boundaries are between mid-oceanic ridges . A divergent boundary is an area in the Earth's crust where two plates have been pulled apart like at a spreading center.A divergent boundary is when two plates are moving away from each other.
Divergent boundary tectonic plates?
In plate tectonics, a Divergent boundary or divergent plate boundary (also known as a constructive boundary or an extensional boundary) is a linear feature that exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other. These areas can form on the end of continents but eventually form ocean basins. Divergent boundaries within continents initially produce rifts which produce rift valleys. Therefore, most active divergent plate boundaries are between oceanic platesand are often called mid-oceanic ridges. Divergent boundaries also form volcanic islands which occur when the plates move apart to produce gaps which molten lava rises to fill. Thus creating a shield volcano which would eventually build up to become a volcanic island.
What type of plate boundary is associated with the mid Atlantic ridge?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) is a mid-ocean ridge, a divergent tectonic plate boundary located along the floor of the Atlantic Ocean, and part of thelongest mountain range in the world. It separates the Eurasian Plate and North American Plate in the North Atlantic, and the African Plate from the South American Plate in the South Atlantic. The Ridge extends from a junction with the Gakkel Ridge (Mid-Arctic Ridge) northeast of Greenland southward to theBouvet Triple Junction in the South Atlantic. Although the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is mostly an underwater feature, portions of it have enough elevation to extend above sea level. The section of the ridge which includes the island of Iceland is also known as the Reykjanes Ridge. The average spreading rate for the ridge is about 2.5 cm per year.[1]en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Atlantic_Ridge
What island of New-zealand is bisected by a plate boundary and what kind of plate is this?
The 'South Island'. A collision boundary.
Do divergent boundaries cause island arcing?
No. Divergent boundaries cause mid ocean ridges (MORs) to form.
