Yellowstone is in the middle of the North American Plate, not at a boundary between plates. The geothermal activity in Yellowstone is due to its being on top of a vigorous hot spot that is powering a very large mid-plate volcano.

If the plates are moving together from opposite directions, the colliding edges will uplift into mountain ranges. If the plates are moving apart, a rift valley will form. If the plates are moving together at oblique angles, a fault zone will occur.
