What type of rocks formed at divergent plate boundaries?
Mainly metamorphic, due the intense pressure. Some rocks will bend rather than break causing visible folds. Convergent plate boundaries can also produce igneous rocks from volcanic activity due to the subduction of the lighter crustal plate into the mantel which creates a tremendous amount of heat and pressure. Solidified magma may turn into granite. Magma which is blown out from a volcano may take the form of pumice, lava, obsidian, among others.
What type of plate boundary do you find ocean trenches on?
Convergent boundaries
Where should you find folds and faults?
along tectonic plate boundaries.
What type of magma do you find at each of the different plate boundaries?
There's only one kind and that my friend is hot rocks!
Where are 90 percent of earth's volcanoes located why do we find volcanoes there?
I can answer the first part 90 percent of earth's volcanoes are found at plate boundaries.
Would you except to find plate boundaries here in Canada?
Yes, There are plate boundaries all over the world.
Where can Igenous rocks be found?
Anywhere you find volcanic activities but usally is on plate boundaries where you find subduction of one plate into another. Usually Continent-Oceanic convergence. the oceanic sink below the continent because the continental plates are less denser than the oceanic plate. you can also find igneous rocks on oceanic-oceanic plates where the form island arc.

What plate boundaries is mount Pinatubo on?
Don't know but I want to find out!
What do you use to find plate boundaries?
Linear patterns of earthquakes is one method of detecting them.
Where on earth would you find a subduction zone?
You could find subduction zones in the depths of the oceans, at some plate boundaries. At this location, you would observe one tectonic plate (a plate of lower density then the other) being slipped under another plate into magma. These are also known as destructive boundaries, because crust is being destroyed, (as opposed to diverent boundaries where leaking magma creates new crust.)
Why are igneous rock found in collision zones?
There are many explanation to your question. The most abundant type of rocks in collision zones are metamorphic rocks. But if there is a igneous it can as a result of convergence boundaries. In subduction zones where rising magma are penetrate through weaker rocks to form form lava and when solidified forms igneous rocks. You can also find them in accretion zones. Where 2 continental plates are accreted due to plate movement. They are not newly formed igneous. they have been there for years before accretion.
What are three types of orogeny?
Continental-continental, Oceanic-oceanic and Oceanic-continental convergent boundaries.
What items boost phychic types?
You can find the Mind Plate.
What type of magma do you find at each of the different plate boundaries?
There's only one kind and that my friend is hot rocks!
