Would you expect to find more metamorphic rocks in the middle of a plate or near a plate boundary?
plate boundary
What kind of Plate boundary is in japan?
Japan is at the meeting place of four tectonic plates: The Pacific Plate, The Eurasian Plates, The Philippine Plate, and the Okhotsk Plate (sometimes considered part of the North American Plate).
Where would two plate move apart at the mid ocean ridges?
At a divergent plate boundary.
What type of boundary forms when an oceanic plate is pushed under a continental plate?
a convergent boundary. The oceanic plate is then subducted under the continental plate because it is denser. This subduction creates earthquakes and volcanoes
Which two continents whose edges are not at all on the plate boundary?
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.

What type of plate boundary would have less silica content?
divergent boundary

At what type of plate boundary is new ocean crust formed?
Older material
An example of divergent plate boundary on a continental plate would be what?
The East African Rift Valley

Where would a convergent boundary be located on the ocean floor?
any where

Does a rift valley forms along a convergent boundary on land?
No, that would be a divergent plate boundary where a rift valley forms.
Does a rift valley form along a colliding boundary?
No, it would form along a separating (divergent) tectonic plate boundary.
What type of boundary is new ocean crust crust formed?
This would be called a Spreading center, or a divergent plate boundary.
