Do plate boundaries coincide with continental boundaries?
the Mid-Ocean Ridge.Sometimes plate boundaries coincide with those of the continental landmass, the majority do not.

What are all of New Jersey's boundaries from each side?
New Jersey shares a land boundary with New York in the North and North-east, a land and water (Delaware River) boundary with Pennsylvania to the West, and a water boundary (Delaware River) with Delware to the south-west. The other boundary is the Atlantic Ocean to NJ's East side. Interestingly enough, part of the line between Delaware and New Jersey is actually on the New Jersey landmass, near the Fort Mott area in Salem County. The state line is actually delineated as the high water tide mark along some wetlands, and at low tide, the land (marshy though it may be) that is visible is actually Delaware. The rest of the border runs down the middle of the Delaware River.
