How can you know the location and kinds of plate boundaries on earth and is there a plate boundary on earth and is there a plate boundary near out area?

You know the location of a plate boundary by how the rocks and other geological features are in a curtain area, for example earthquakes and volcanoes are very common near a boundary. We can tell what kind of boundary it is by the way the ground is moving, if the ground is moving away from the boundary it is most likely a divergent boundary, and if the ground is moving towards the boundary it is likely to be a convergent. I hope that helped

What boundary is it where two plates push together?
An area where two tectonic plates collide is called a boundary. There are three kinds of boundaries. They are convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries.
What is the difference between a rift valley and a mid ocean ridge and what kinds of boundaries do they form at?
a rift valleyis a dip in the ocean floor a mid ocean ridge is a mountain chain formed on the ocean floor . Rift valley - divergent boundary MidOcean Ridge Convergent Boundary
What kinds of volcanoes form on converging plate boundaries?
Composite cone volcanos are the most common.. Shielding and other types are results from a divergent boundary.
What are the kinds of earth rocks on earth?
The kinds of rocks on earth are Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic.
What are the 3 basic kinds of plate boundaries?
Divergent, Convergent, and Transform
How many kinds of boundaries are there in plate tectonics?
There are four transform boundaries divergent boundaries convergent boundaries a fourth boundary where the interactions are not clear and the boundaries are not well defined

What is the plate boundary?
The worst plate boundary is the north american plate with the recorded worst for earthquakes
What type of plate boundary causes shear stresses?
Shearing stress is one of three kinds of stresses. Compressional and tensional are the others. Shearing stress is associated with transform. The other two kinds of plate boundaries are convergent and divergent.
How are the movement of plates and at divergent boundaries and sliding boundary similar?
There are three kinds of plate boundaries:spreading boundaries, colliding boundaries, and sliding boundaries. The platea move at amazing show rates, from about 1 to 24 centimeters per year. Thet have been moving for tens of millions of years.
When seismic waves interact with boundaries between different kinds of rock within earth they can be refracted?
Yes. You are true.

What kinds of volcanoes form on converging plate boundaries?
Composite cone volcanos are the most common.. Shielding and other types are results from a divergent boundary.
What are the kinds of earthquake?
