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 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.
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 is the plate boundary of mt.veniaminof of Alaska?
the plate boundary at the mount is a colliding plate boundary
What are the all the boundary?
Convergent plate boundary, divergent plate boundary and strike-slip (transform) plate boundary.

Divergent plate boundary
What is the plate boundary for unzen?
convergent plate boundary
What is a boundary where 2 plates move apart?
It is called a divergent plate boundary.
What is an example of a divergent plate boundary and a transform plate boundary?
Divergent plate boundary: Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Transform plate boundary: San Andreas Fault.
What type of plate boundary is the indo-australian plate and pacific plate?
A convergent 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 boundary can a trench be found?
The boundary where a trench can be found is called a convergent plate boundary. It can also be termed a destructive plate boundary in plate tectonics.
