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).
Would you expect to find more metamorphic rocks in the middle of a plate or near a plate boundary?
plate boundary
What two types of plate boundaries are found along the margins of the plate?
I would guess that its the convergent/destructive plate boundary (2 plates pushing against each other) and the conservative/transform plate boundary (2 plates sliding past each other). The third type divergent/constructive plate boundary happens when the 2 plates are moving away from each other and new land is formed from the magma coming up between them.
At What type of boundary would a trench be created?
Trenches such as the Peru-Chile trench are found at destructive (also known as convergent) subductive plate margins where the denser oceanic plate is being subducted beneath the lighter continental plate. Trenches are common at subduction zones.
What type of convergent boundary is New Zealand on?
A destructive one, because of the subduction. The main plate boundary cuts across the country from Milford Sound in the south west of the South Island, to emerge to the north east of the North Island. So the 'land' parts would be further refined as a 'continental-continental' boundary, whist the remainder would be 'ocean-continent', or 'ocean-ocean' boundary.Quite curiously, to the south of the country, the boundary is dipping to the east, whilst the northern part of the boundary is dipping to the west.New Zealand's current volcanism is associated with this plate boundary, which then passes by the Kermadec Islands on its path north, and becomes the Tonga Trench.

How would a volcano erupt?
A volcano erupts when one tectonic plate subducts below the other. The magma then flows through the gap, causing the volcano to erupt. This is called a destructive plate boundary xxx

What type of plate boundary would have less silica content?
divergent boundary
What is the type of plate boundary where two plates move together causig one of the slabs of lithosphere to descend into the mantle beneath an overriding plate?
Convergent BoundaryA destructive plate boundary with a subduction zone.
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 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
