There are 3 types convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries. Convergent collide, divergent move away, and transform boundaries occur when two boundaries pass each other horizontally. The process of subduction is associated with convergent boundaries and tectonic plates play a huge role in these types of boundaries.

Oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary.?
oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary has what kind of crustal rocks
Which crustal plate can be found between nazca plate and south American plate?
Boundary
What happens when crustal plates slide past each other?
Earthquakes occur and faults are created. (Next: transform boundary) no crust is created or destroyed.
What features are common near the boundaries of the earth's crustal plates?
Mountains, volcanoes, rift valleys. Commonly associated with eartquakes. The landform depends on the type of boundary: converging, diverging, transform.
What is the surface feature produced by crustal movements at a transform plate boundary?
Valleys, Cliffs, Mountains and Volcanoescanada and australla
What is the term for a piece of crust which has been in a collision along a convergent crustal boundary and become accreted to another crustal plate?
terrane
Oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary.?
oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary has what kind of crustal rocks
What is sliding boundary?
forms when two {crustal} lithosphere plates move apart.
Why are divergent boundary considered constructive while convergent boundaries considered destructive?
divergent - creates new crustal rockconvergent - destroys old crustal rock
Which crustal plate can be found between nazca plate and south American plate?
Boundary
Does an ocean crustal plate rises at a convergent boundary with a continental plate?
No. It subducts under the continental plate.
Where are the most volcanoes on Earth?
In the "Ring of Fire" Around the Pacific ocean
Is death valley a divergent plate boundary?
No. Death Valley is near a transform plate boundary, but is not directly related to it. Death Valley is part of the Basin and Range province of North America. This province is an area of crustal extension not associated with any particular plate boundary.
What happens when crustal plates slide past each other?
Earthquakes occur and faults are created. (Next: transform boundary) no crust is created or destroyed.
Where the crustal plates are moving apart what do you call it?
A divergent or constructive plate boundary. There can also be specific names like "a mid oceanic ridge" or a "rift valley".
Do plates and crustal plates differ?
Plates and Crustal plates are not different it can also be called as Crustal rocks
What features are common near the boundaries of the earth's crustal plates?
Mountains, volcanoes, rift valleys. Commonly associated with eartquakes. The landform depends on the type of boundary: converging, diverging, transform.
