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.
What type of movement do transform fault boundaries moves?
Transform fault boundaries move horizontally past each other in opposite directions. This movement occurs along tectonic plate boundaries, where the plates slide past one another, causing earthquakes.
Where do most of the world's mountains form?
Most of the world's mountains form at tectonic plate boundaries, where the movement of the Earth's crust results in the uplifting of land. This can occur at convergent boundaries, where plates collide, or at divergent boundaries, where plates separate. Another common location for mountain formation is at hotspots, where magma from the mantle pushes through the crust.
What do plate tectonics help explain?
Plate tectonics help explain the movement of Earth's crustal plates and how they interact at plate boundaries to create features such as mountains, earthquakes, and volcanoes. It also helps to understand the distribution of earthquakes and volcanic activity around the world.
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.
Would you except to find plate boundaries here in Canada?
Yes, There are plate boundaries all over the world.
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.
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
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!
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.
Is there plate boundaries in France?
Yes, France is located at the Eurasian Plate boundary, where it interacts with the African Plate. This boundary is primarily characterized by a transform fault called the Pyrenees Fault. France is also impacted by the complex tectonic interactions occurring in the Mediterranean region, where the Eurasian, African, and Arabian Plates converge.
