Are the plate boundaries the same as the edges of continents?

No. Not all plate boundaries are at the edges of continents, nor do all edges of continents correspond with plate boundaries. Many plate boundaries are found in the middle of oceans, while the continent of Africa is being torn apart by a developing plate boundary. Some edges of continents, such as the west coast of South America are near plate boundaries. These are called active continental margins. Others, such as the east coast of North America, are nowhere near plate boundaries. These are called passive continental margins.


What are the lines that measure east and west on the globe?

The lines that measure east and west on the globe are called longitude lines or meridians. The prime meridian, located at 0 degrees, divides the Earth into Eastern and Western Hemispheres. Longitude lines run vertically from the North Pole to the South Pole.


Lines of the globe?

The lines on a globe refer to latitude and longitude lines that help locate points on Earth's surface. Latitude lines run east-west and measure a point's distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run north-south and measure a point's distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. These lines intersect at specific points to create a grid system used for navigation and mapping.


Is this a run-on or comma splice by the 1970s scientists have accepted the idea of moving continents today geologists refer to this movement as a plate tectonics.?

This is a run-on sentence because two independent clauses ("By the 1970s scientists have accepted the idea of moving continents" and "Today geologists refer to this movement as plate tectonics") are connected without proper punctuation or conjunction. To correct it, you could separate the clauses into two sentences or use a semicolon to connect them.
