Yellowstone is situated within a tectonic plate, not at a plate boundary! Volcanic activity is thought to be as a result of a mantle plume, much like the volcanism that created the Hawaiian Island chain.

What plate boundary separates the North American plate from the African plate?
Divergent plate boundary
What type of boundary does the red sea affect?
I believe the red sea is located at a divergent plate boundary.
What type of boundary occurs between the max a plate and the South American plate?
Convergent on the western perimeter, divergent on the Easter perimeter.
What is an example of a divergent plate boundary and a transform plate boundary?
Divergent plate boundary: Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Transform plate boundary: San Andreas Fault.
What type of plate boundary is Hekla the volcano formed?
A diverging is the type of plate boundary that the Hekla volcano formed. Hekla last erupted in 2000. It is located in Iceland. ADDED. Also called a "constructive" plate boundary, because the upwelling magma adds rock to the edges of the two plates.
What is a boundary where 2 plates move apart?
It is called a divergent plate boundary.
What plate boundary separates the North American plate from the African plate?

At which type of plate boundary is the youngest seafloor located?
At the mid-ocean ridges, a divergent plate boundary.
What type of boundary occurs between the max a plate and the South American plate?

What type of plate boundary forms rift valleys?

What type of fault line is the mid-Atlantic ridge?
no the mid- Atlantic ridge is a transform boundary
Is Costa Rica a convergent plate boundary or a divergent boundary or a hot spot?
Costa Rica is located on the caribian plate and it is a divergent plate boundry because it subducts under the north American
What is an example of a divergent plate boundary and a transform plate boundary?
Divergent plate boundary: Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Transform plate boundary: San Andreas Fault.
What type of boundary is formed when plate separate?
Divergent boundary is formed
At what type of plate boundary is new ocean crust formed?
Older material
