Did an earthquake cause Samoa's tsunami?
No because the New Madrid quakes occurred far inland, so therefore no tsunami was generated by the plate tectonics under a large body of water as is the mechanism for most earthquake-generated tsunamis. However, the New Madrid fault earthquake did cause the Mississippi river to flow backwards.

What do you call a plate boundary in which no new crust is made or destroyed?
recessive plate boundary
Where is oceanic crust created?
New oceanic crust is created at the mid-oceanic ridges, a divergent plate boundary.
What type of plate is the Mid Atlantic Ridge?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is not actually a tectonic plate, but a divergent boundary between plates where new oceanic crust is being created on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. To the north, it marks the boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the North American Plate. To the south, it separates the African Plate from the South American Plate.
What boundary does new crust form at?
Divergent plate boundary.
What plate boundary produces new land?
transform boundary
At which boundary would it be easiest to obtain igneous rocks?
At a divergent plate boundary, where new crust is created by infilling magma, creating igneous rock.
What island of New-zealand is bisected by a plate boundary and what kind of plate is this?
