there is another one but it is similar to destructive where the plates go towards but there is a different out come

What are the many types of plate movements?
Transform, Divergent, Convergent are types of tectonic plate movements
How many tectonic plates are located in the Ring of Fire?
Yes! The ring of fire IS where several plate boundaries meet!
What is the definition of tectonic plate?
The lithosphere is broken up into what are called tectonic plates - in the case of Earth, there are seven major and many minor plates. The lithospheric plates ride on the asthenosphere. These plates move in relation to one another at one of three types of plate boundaries: convergent or collision boundaries, divergent or spreading boundaries, and transform boundaries. Earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain-building, and oceanic trench formation occur along plate boundaries. The lateral movement of the plates is typically at speeds of 50-100 mm/a.
What plates does the ring of fire have?
The Pacific Ring of Fire has many boundaries along the edge of it's plate, such as the Cocos Plate, the Nazca Plate, and the South American Plate. Please see the related link listed below for more detailed information:
Are all faults located on tectonic plate boundaries?
No. Many faults, especially minor ones, are located far from plate boundaries.
What is a consecutive plate boundary?
A consecutive plate boundary is where the tectonic plates meet. There are many types of boundaries, such as convergent, divergent, and transform.
What causes different kinds of volcanic mountains?
it can be caused by many things, such as hot spots, convergent plate boundaries, and divergent plate boundaries
Is a volcano a convergent boundary?
No. A volcano is not a plate boundary. Most volcanoes on land are associated with convergent boundaries, but many are associated with divergent boundaries and others with hot spots.
What are the many types of plate movements?
Transform, Divergent, Convergent are types of tectonic plate movements
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
How many tectonic plates are located in the Ring of Fire?
Yes! The ring of fire IS where several plate boundaries meet!
How many different types of plate boundaries are there?

What kinds of tectonic plates are there?
There are two kinds of plates- continental lithosphere and oceanic lithosphere. There are many types of plate boundaries, like convergent, divergent, transform, and more. Continental lithosphere is granite and oceanic is basalt.
What is the definition of tectonic plate?
The lithosphere is broken up into what are called tectonic plates - in the case of Earth, there are seven major and many minor plates. The lithospheric plates ride on the asthenosphere. These plates move in relation to one another at one of three types of plate boundaries: convergent or collision boundaries, divergent or spreading boundaries, and transform boundaries. Earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain-building, and oceanic trench formation occur along plate boundaries. The lateral movement of the plates is typically at speeds of 50-100 mm/a.
At which plate boundaries do most volcanoes form?
Most volcanoes form at a convergent plate boundary. Simply put when a oceanic plate and a continental plate hit each other face on the subduction of the oceanic plate causes the magma to rise and the converging of the plates makes a mountain and the magma rises through the top creating a volcano.
What type of boundary is the Juan DE fuca plate?
It is a divergent plate boundary
What plates does the ring of fire have?
The Pacific Ring of Fire has many boundaries along the edge of it's plate, such as the Cocos Plate, the Nazca Plate, and the South American Plate. Please see the related link listed below for more detailed information:
