Why is it important to know what type of plates are interacting at plate boundaries?
Where plates meet, their relative motion determines the type of boundary: convergent, divergent, or transform.
What are three types of earthquakes caused by plate motion types from weakest to strongest?
divergent, transform, convergent
What is the plate boundary for unzen?
convergent plate boundary
What are the 3 subtypes of convergent plate boundaries?
1. Oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundary. 2. Continental-continental convergent plate boundary. and 3. Oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary.
Describe the relative motion between the north American plate and the pacific plate?
The Pacific Plate is currently being subducted under the North American Plate. Subduction zones are when one plate is being forced under another at a convergent boundary (where two plates collide). When the Pacific Plate is being subducted under the North American Plate, the crust of the Pacific Plate melts, and creates volcanoes along the edge of the North American Plate. So, the relative motion of the two plates is that they are converging, or moving together.This same process is happening at the South American and Nazca Plates.
What type of plate motion crates a reverse fault?
The answer is by convergent plate motion.
What are reverse faults created by?
convergent plate motion

What is an example of a convergent plate?
an example of a convergent plate/boundary are mountain ranges
How are plate boundaries classified?
They are classified based on the vector of relative plate motion at the boundary. For example a boundary where the plates are moving away from each other is a divergent boundary, one where they are moving towards each other is a convergent boundary and one in which they are sliding past each other is a transform boundary.
What is an example of convergent plate boundary -?
An example of convergent plate boundaries on earth is the Himalayas. :)
