Niagara falls is associated with a divergent plate boundary. The falls were formed as a result of erosion caused by the Niagara River flowing over the Niagara Escarpment. The escarpment itself was formed by the differential movement of the North American Plate and the African Plate along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a divergent boundary where the plates are moving away from each other.
The San Andreas Fault is associated with a transform plate boundary. It marks the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, where they are sliding past each other horizontally. This movement can cause earthquakes along the fault line.
The Peru-Chile Trench is a convergent plate boundary, where the Nazca Plate is subducting beneath the South American Plate. This subduction zone is associated with frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity.
Regional metamorphism is associated with convergent plate boundaries where two tectonic plates are colliding. The intense pressure and heat generated during this collision cause the rocks to undergo metamorphism over a wide area, leading to the formation of regional metamorphic rocks.
The plate boundary associated with earthquakes in Alaska is primarily a transform boundary, where the Pacific Plate slides horizontally past the North American Plate along the Aleutian Trench. This movement causes frequent seismic activity in the region.

The Yellowstone caldera is associated with a hot spot, not a plate boundary.
Yes. It is on the boundary between the Indian Plate, and the Eurasian Plate.
Yellowstone is not associated with a plate boundary. It is associated with a hot spot.
Mount Tambora is associated with a convergent plate boundary.
No. Kilauea is not associated with any plate boundary. It is associates with a hot spot under the Pacific Plate.
A hot spot is not associated with a plate boundary.
The San Andreas Fault is associated with a transform plate boundary. It marks the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, where they are sliding past each other horizontally. This movement can cause earthquakes along the fault line.
Kilauea is not associated with a plate boundary, it and the other Hawaiian volcanoes are the result of a hot spot.
The Peru-Chile Trench is a convergent plate boundary, where the Nazca Plate is subducting beneath the South American Plate. This subduction zone is associated with frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity.
Mount Adatara is associated with a convergent plate boundary, as are all of Japan's volcanoes.
No, Irazu is not a divergent boundary. Irazu is a volcano located in Costa Rica, and it is associated with the subduction boundary where the Cocos Plate is being pushed below the Caribbean Plate.
Regional metamorphism is associated with convergent plate boundaries where two tectonic plates are colliding. The intense pressure and heat generated during this collision cause the rocks to undergo metamorphism over a wide area, leading to the formation of regional metamorphic rocks.
