Three real world Convergent Boundaries are the Himalayan mountain range where the Indian Plate smashed into the Eur-Asian plate about 250 million years ago. Another convergent boundary is Pacific Plate pushing against the North American Plate.(West side, California, Vancouver, Alaska, Ect.) A third convergent boudary is that of the Carribian, and the Pacific Plate.
I really hope this helped you satisfy a curiosity, of help you on a school or work paper. Happy Holidays,
P.S. My tears can cure cancer, too bad I don't cry!

What is the relationship between plate boundaries and where earthquakes happen?
Plate boundaries are the absolute edges of the tectonic plates that make up our earth's crust. These plate boundaries clash with others making what are known as fault lines, which are the cause of earthquakes.
How do scientist know where plate boundaries are?
Geologists identify plate boundaries by plotting the locations of earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain-building, and oceanic trench formation. The three types of plate boundaries are divergent, convergent and transform.
What is true about the depth of earthquakes and the location of tectonic plate boundaries?
there are 7 tectonic plates 1 under each continent. if these plates crash or shift near the core under a volcano below / above sea level the eurasian plate would crash into the african one the south american plate will be affected and the world would colapse leading to earthquakes and volcanic erruptions in short the end of the world.
What is mt etna's boundary type?
Mt. Etna is an unusual volcano in that most of the world's volcanoes occur on constructive and destructive plate boundaries while Etna is formed on a unique boundary between two continental plates, the Eurasian and the African plate, which are pushing towards each other.
Why do earthquakes happen far away from plate boundaries?
Earthquakes that happen away from plate boundaries are called intra-plate earthquakes. These are caused by the stress of minor fault lines under a certain place. Eg. New Madrid Fault Zone. The UK is a good example of this. England has many fault lines running through, however they are only cracks within the plate not plate boundaries.
Is there plate boundaries in France?
yes. all around the world we all have boundaries
Would you except to find plate boundaries here in Canada?
Yes, There are plate boundaries all over the world.
Where do convergent plate boundaries occur in the world?
The most common type of plate boundary is a convergent/compressional/destructive plate boundary. The plates are moving together. Examples of this are: Soufriere Hills volcano - the Atlantic plate is subducting underneath the Caribbean plate. Mt Pinatubo - the Phillippine plate is subducting beneath the indo-Australian plate. You get volcanoes and earthquakes at these plate boundaries. :) Hope this helped.
What is the edge of a tectonic plate?
Divergent boundaries - two plates Pull away from each other. Convergent boundaries - when two plates collide forming trenches or causing earthquakes. Tranform boundaries - two plates slide past each other
Do all countries have earthquakes?
Earthquakes can generally occur anywhere in the world, but most happen at plate boundaries.
Why are buildings in the middle of a tectonic plate much less likely to be damaged?
Because there are far less earthquakes in the middle of a tectonic plate. About 90% of the world's earthquakes occur at plate boundaries.
How is volcanic activity associated with plate boundaries?
90% of volcanic activity on earth occurs at either convergent or divergent plate boundaries. The remaining 10% occurs at hot spots, which are not associated with plate boundaries.
What type of plate boundary is Italy on?
It is found on a destructive plate boundary
What is the relationship between plate boundaries and where earthquakes happen?
Plate boundaries are the absolute edges of the tectonic plates that make up our earth's crust. These plate boundaries clash with others making what are known as fault lines, which are the cause of earthquakes.
What is the deepest fault in the world?
Tectonic plate boundaries are faults that extend all the way down to the asthenosphere of the upper mantle.
How is the pacific plate different from all others?
the pacific plate is different from the others because it doesn't show any of the real plate as an island
How is the pacific different from the other plates?
the pacific plate is the biggest plate in the world!
