Several things are characteristic of plate boundaries. Mountain and volcanoes are common at converging plate boundaries, as well as faults and earthquakes. mid oceanic ridges form when the edges of oceanic tectonic plates spread appart from each other. Island arcs form near the edges of a subducting tectonic plate.
What else can I help you with?
What plate boundary are you closest to?
Me, personally? I live near Sacramento, California, USA, and the nearest plate boundary is about 100 miles to the west, the boundary between the North American plate and the Pacific.
What plate boundary is the boundary at which plates collide or come together?
The plate boundary at which plates collide or come together is called a convergent boundary. At convergent boundaries, one plate is typically forced beneath the other in a process known as subduction. This collision can lead to the formation of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic activity.
What are the all the boundary?
Convergent plate boundary, divergent plate boundary and strike-slip (transform) plate boundary.
What is a boundary where 2 plates move apart?
It is called a divergent plate boundary.
What type of plate boundary exists?
divergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move apart from each other. convergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move towards each other so that one plate can sink beneath the other. transform plate boundary- a boundary where one plate slips along side another plate.
What is the name of the plate boundary that slides past each other?
transform boundary
What plate boundary is mt mayon?
It is a destructive plate boundary ;)
What is the type of movement that occurs at each type of plate boundary?
each plate boundary has a different boundaries. if you want the movement for a specific plate boundary, write the name of the plate boundary. :]
Why would you not want to live along that plate edge?
Along plate edges is where a lot of earthquakes occur. If you were to live along a plate boundary you would be putting yourself in danger of an earthquake.
What is the plate boundary for unzen?
The plate boundary for Unzen volcano is the subduction zone where the Philippine Sea Plate is being subducted beneath the Eurasian Plate. This subduction zone is part of the larger convergent boundary between the Philippine Sea Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
What plate boundary was the Shensi Earthquake?
Convergence plate boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the Indian Plate.
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
