Atlantic plate , pacific plate and north American plate
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.

A plate is not classified as convergent, divergent, or transform, a plate boundary i.e. a boundary between plates is. All three types of plate boundary can be found along the edges of the North American plate.
the modern theory is that all the continents used to be connected (Pangaea). The evidence is that the coastal boundaries fit together like a puzzle piece. another example is that the same species of animals are found on the coasts of the continents that once were touching
Earthquakes are produced at all types of plate boundaries: convergent boundaries, where plates collide; divergent boundaries, where plates separate; and transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other. The release of stress along these boundaries can result in seismic activity.
Europe and Asia have edges that are not ALL on plate boundaries.
Europe and Asia have edges that are not ALL on plate boundaries.
South America and Australia are two continents whose edges are not all situated on plate boundaries. These continents have regions that are not along plate boundaries due to the complexities of the Earth's tectonic plates.

North America and South America have edges that are not all plate boundaries. The boundary between North and South America is known as the Central American Subduction Zone, where the Cocos Plate is subducting beneath the Caribbean Plate.
Africa and South America have edges that are not all on plate boundaries. For example, the coast of Africa along the Atlantic Ocean is a passive margin, and the edges of South America along the Pacific Ocean have a mix of convergent and transform plate boundaries.
