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.

What type of plate boundary is Popocatepetl at?
Convergent, divergent, or maybe a transform boundary. Choose any one you want to.
What type of boundary is the Juan DE fuca plate?
It is a divergent plate boundary
Is Costa Rica a convergent plate boundary or a divergent boundary or a hot spot?
Costa Rica is located on the caribian plate and it is a divergent plate boundry because it subducts under the north American
Is the African plate convergent or divergent?
Is the Arabian Plate convergent or divergent? Yes to both. The western margin of the Arabian Peninsula (the Red Sea) and southern margin (the Gulf of Aden) are extensions of the African Great Rift Valley. The point where Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, and Somalia are close together is the central joint of a Y-shaped divergent boundary whose upper arms are defined by the two bodies of water. As the Arabian Plate pulls away from the African Plate, it creates a convergent boundary as it plows into the Eurasian Plate along its northern margin. Much of the tectonic activity and mountain-building (orogengy) in Iran and Turkey is the result of this convergent boundary. Complicated segments with lateral motion are also present along the boundary of the Arabian Plate with its neighbors.
What type of fault exists between the North American and Pacific Plate?
The North American and Pacific Plate boundary is an example of a convergent plate boundary, specifically an oceanic to continental convergent plate boundary.
Which way does the tectonic Caribbean plate move?
the plate is moving north west toward the north american plate
What type of plate boundary is between the North American and the Pacific plates?
It is a transform boundary.
What type of plate boundary is Popocatepetl at?
Convergent, divergent, or maybe a transform boundary. Choose any one you want to.
What are the 4 plates in plate boundaries?
The Are Seven Primary Plates, so there cannot be only Five Boundaries, I know the tectonic Plates are The 1. African Plate 2. Antarctic Plate 3. Eurasian Plate 4. Indo-Australian Plate 5. North American Plate 6. Pacific Plate 7. South American Plate There Are Three Basic types of boundary; Divergent, Convergent and Transform boundaries Hopefull somebody can tell you all their names of the boundaires between them because these different Plates will me touching two or More Plates hence a lot of different boundaries
What type of boundary is the Juan DE fuca plate?
It is a divergent plate boundary
Is Costa Rica a convergent plate boundary or a divergent boundary or a hot spot?
Costa Rica is located on the caribian plate and it is a divergent plate boundry because it subducts under the north American
What plate boundary is Katmai on?
Mount Katmai is located on a convergent plate boundary.
What type of plate boundary exists between the North American and Pacific Plate near Mexico?
For the portion in the United States it is a transform boundaries, while in the Gulf of California it forms a series of transform and divergent portions.
What plate boundary is mt rainier on?
Mount Rainier, Washington, isn't located on a divergent plate boundary but a convergent one. The Juan de Fuca Plate off the coast is pushing under the northern US and Canada, creating volcanism (such as Mt St Helens).
What type of boundary is between the Caribbean and Cocos plates?
The Eurasian and Caribbean plates are separated by the North American plate. Therefore, there is no plate boundary separating the two plates.
What is the plate boundary?
The worst plate boundary is the north american plate with the recorded worst for earthquakes
