What is an example of convergent boundaries?
An example of convergent plate boundaries on earth is the Himalayas. :)
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.
Which boundaries can produce earth quakes?
Earthquakes almost always occur at transform boundaries.
How latitude and longitude are used to find specific locations on earth?
Latitude and longitude are used to find the degrees horizontally and vertically around the earth, pin-pointing a location.
Where do most of earth volcanoes and earthquakes occur?
along plate boundaries
The location on earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake is the epicenter a close correlation exists between epicenters and plate boundaries is it true or false?
Yes, it is true that the location of the earth's surface is directly above the focus of an earthquake is the epicenter a close correlation exists between epicenters and the plate boundaries.
What are the different types of boundaries found along the edges of the earth plates?
convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, transform boundaries and plate boundaries
What are different types of boundaries found along the edges of earth's plates?
convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, transform boundaries and plate boundaries
What are divert boundaries?
divergent boundaries are under the ground earth quakes
What are Cracks in the earths crust called?
Divergent boundaries, convergent boundaries, and transform boundaries are all cracks in the Earth's crust. They are located where the Earth's plates border one another.

An example of convergent plate boundaries on earth is the Himalayas. :)

What it called to know the exact location of earth?
You have to be more specific for this question. In this answer, I am assuming you mean How do we measure location on earth. We measure the location on earth using latitude and longitude lines. We also use the reference lines (equator, prime merridean) and the four hemispheres to determine what continent or country we live in.
Which boundaries can produce earth quakes?
Earthquakes almost always occur at transform boundaries.
What is lateral movement of the earth in geography?
ask someone how knows
What is Hawaii location?
Central Pacific. Check "google earth" for a specific logitude/latitude. the exact location is 19.5°n,155.5°w
How latitude and longitude are used to find specific locations on earth?
Latitude and longitude are used to find the degrees horizontally and vertically around the earth, pin-pointing a location.
