What are characteristics of at least one type of plate boundary?
volcanic activity
When an oceanic plate is pushed under a continental plate resulting in volcanic activity what type of boundary is formed?
Convergent Boundary (Subduction Zone)
Which type of plate boundary would be most likely lead to above ground volcanic activity?
convergent!
What plate boundary is Yellow stone on?
Yellowstone is located on the North American plate, but it is nowhere the plate boundary. It is located over a geological "hot spot" and continues to have volcanic activity of one sort or another.
Is Yellowstone located at a divergent plate boundary?
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 are characteristics of at least one type of plate boundary?
volcanic activity
What plate boundary is not associated with volcanic eruptions?
Transform boundaries do not produce volcanic activity.
When an oceanic plate is pushed under a continental plate resulting in volcanic activity what type of boundary is formed?
Convergent Boundary (Subduction Zone)
What type of plate boundary have abundant non explosive volcanic activity?
Divergent boundaries. :)
What is an area of volcanic activity far from a tectonic plate boundary?
mantle plume
When an oceanic plate is pushed under a continental plate resulting in volcanic activity this type of boundary forms?
booff

When an oceanic plate is pushed under a continental plate resulting in volcanic activity this type of boundary forms what?
it causes subduction <-- wrong convergent <-- right
What is the difference between the volcanic activity that occurs at a hot spot and the volcanic activity at a subduction boundary between an oceanic plate and a continental plate?
The hot spot volcanic activity is not dependent on the subduction and melting of oceanic crust. The hot spot simply appears to be a non-moving place in the Earth's mantle where heat rises from the interior.
What are two major geologic features produce near a plate boundary where subduction occurs?
volcanic activity and growing mountain ranges
