What Type of plate boundary exists between Indian and Asia?
A Collision plate boundary, where two continental plates that are the same in density and thickness, push against each other forming fold mountains and crumble zones. This causes Earthquakes from the pressure and stress but not volcanoes.
Is nyiragongo on a convergent plate boundary?
