Its along a divergent plate boundary.
Volcanoes are more common along convergent boundaries
divergent boundary
Divergent boundaries.
Convergent
Its along a divergent plate boundary.
No. New crust is created along a divergent boundary. Crust is destroyed at a convergent boundary.
Volcanoes are more common along convergent boundaries
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.
No, that would be a divergent plate boundary where a rift valley forms.
A plate is not classified as convergent, divergent, or transform, a plate boundary i.e. a boundary between plates is. All three types of plate boundary can be found along the edges of the North American plate.
A reverse fault is often found at convergent plate boundaries.
a rift valley forms along the divergent boundary
It is a convergent boundary The subduction of the pacific plate underneath the west coast of South America creates the uplift and volcanoes that is still producing the Andean mountain range. A divergent boundary would create a mid-ocean ridge, or somthing akin to the great rift valley in Africa.

No. it was along a convergent boundary.
Any type of plate boundary can cause an earthquake. That said, areas along convergent, divergent, and transform tectonic plate boundaries are the most likely places for earthquakes to occur.
