What type of plate boundary does shearing occur?
It Occurs at a transform boundary
What type of plate boundary occurs between the Philippine plate and the Pacific plate?
it does not lie on a plte boundary but near the pacific plate
What is another type of boundary where rock layers fold to form mountain ranges?
a boundary where an oceanic plate plunges beneath a continental plate
What type of volcano occurs along a convergant plate boundary?
a Composite Volcano.
What happens when oceanic and continental plates collide?
At this type of convergent boundary the oceanic plate will be subducted, or sink into the mantle underneath the continental plate. Volcanoes often form near these boundaries.
What type of plate boundary occurs when plates come together?
Convergent boundary, which in this case would lead to mountain building (as in the Himalayas)
What type of boundary produces mountain?
convergent plate boundary
What is the type of movement that occurs at each type of plate boundary?
each plate boundary has a different boundaries. if you want the movement for a specific plate boundary, write the name of the plate boundary. :]
What type of plate boundary occurs between the Nazca and South American Plate?
It is a convergent/destructive plate boundary.
What type of plate boundary does shearing occur?

What type of plate movement occurs at a transform plate boundary?
Divergent Boundary - Slides apart.Convergent Boundary - Collides.Transform Boundary - Slips past.
What type of boundary occurs at the Great Rift Valley in Africa?
divergent plate boundary
What type of plate boundary occurs west of the Andes?
Divergent
What type of plate boundary occurs between the Philippine plate and the Pacific plate?
it does not lie on a plte boundary but near the pacific plate
What type of plate occurs between north America and Eurasian plate?
divergent boundary
What type of plate stress twists a rock?
Usually occurs at plate boundary collision areas.
What type of plate boundary is most directly associated with mountain building?
Convergent plate boundaries.
