Europe and Asia have edges that are not ALL on plate boundaries.
South America and Australia are two continents whose edges are not all situated on plate boundaries. These continents have regions that are not along plate boundaries due to the complexities of the Earth's tectonic plates.
Europe and Asia have edges that are not ALL on plate boundaries.
Africa and South America have edges that are not all on plate boundaries. For example, the coast of Africa along the Atlantic Ocean is a passive margin, and the edges of South America along the Pacific Ocean have a mix of convergent and transform plate boundaries.
Europe and Asia have edges that are not ALL on plate boundaries.
Divergent boundaries - two plates Pull away from each other. Convergent boundaries - when two plates collide forming trenches or causing earthquakes. Tranform boundaries - two plates slide past each other
Australia is in the middle of the Australian-Indian plate. Antarctica has its own plate, but the actual continent doesn't get near the plate boundary. It's plate is called, oddly enough, the Antarctic plate. Who would have figured? You could say that Africa's edges aren't on plate boundaries, but there are some places in northern Africa that get pretty close to being on a boundary.
Plate boundaries are places where two tectonic plates meet. There are three major types of plate boundaries. These are divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
Plate boundaries are the edges where two tectonic plates meet. They can be divergent (moving apart), convergent (moving toward each other), or transform (sliding past each other). Plate boundaries are dynamic regions where most earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain-building processes occur.
Europe and Asia are the two continents which compose Eurasia and sit on the Eurasian Plate.
There are two plate boundaries that cause volcanoes. They are the divergent and convergent plate boundaries.
The Pacific Plate is the largest tectonic plate, covering parts of the Pacific Ocean basin as well as parts of the continents of North America and Asia.
