Which of the following factors is most important when determining the types of boundary that forms when two lithospheric plate collide?
Density of each plate
Types of plate boundaries?
what is the type of plate boundary? divergent, convergent, and transform
What types of plate boundary?
Yes, It is convergent
Which volcanoes are located at hot spots?
Hot spots have generated all types of volcanoes but are most often. If you mean to ask about specific volcanoes, there are too many to count, so a few groups and notable volcanoes will be listed: The volcanoes of Hawaii The volcanoes of the Canary Islands The Yellowstone supervolcano The San Francisco volcanic complex (including Sunset Crater and the San Francisco Peaks) The volcanoes of Iceland (associated with both a hot spot and a divergent plate boundary).
How do volcanoes form at constructive plate margins?
At constructive boundaries, magma from the earth's interior rises to the surface and forms mostly fissure volcanoes, but a few other tyopes as well, and forms new crust which pushes away older crust At destructive boundaries, in a process called subduction, an oceanic plate slides into the earth's mantle, where it melts. The molten roick then rises to the surface and fornms a chain of volcanoes, mostly stratovolcanoes, but a few of other types as well

Types of plate boundaries?
what is the type of plate boundary? divergent, convergent, and transform
What types of plate boundary?
Yes, It is convergent
What type of plate boundary is Italy on?
It is found on a destructive plate boundary
3 types of plat boundaries that occur?
The 3 types of plate boundaries that occur is the spreading boundary, fracture boundary, and the colliding boundary.
What are the three sub types of convergent plate boundrys?
1. Oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundary. 2. Continental-continental convergent plate boundary. and 3. Oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary.
What types of Volcanoes can occur far from any plate boundaries?
Shield volcanoes may occur far from any plate boundaries.
What is a consecutive plate boundary?
A consecutive plate boundary is where the tectonic plates meet. There are many types of boundaries, such as convergent, divergent, and transform.
Give examples of where the three types of plate movements occur?
San Andreas Fault--transform plate boundary. Himalayan Mountain Range--convergent plate boundary. Mid-ocean ridge--divergent plate boundary.
What are the 3 types of plate boundarys?
divergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move apart from each other. convergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move towards each other so that one plate can sink beneath the other. transform plate boundary- a boundary where one plate slips along side another plate.
What type of boundary is the Juan DE fuca plate?
It is a divergent plate boundary
Is the north American plate divergent transform or convergent?
A plate is not classified as convergent, divergent, or transform, a plate boundary i.e. a boundary between plates is. All three types of plate boundary can be found along the edges of the North American plate.
