What crustal features are found at each type of plate boundary?
At a destructive or convergent plate boundary, you will often find volcanoes, though a little way away from the actual boundary. Earthquakes will be common. At a constructive or divergent plate boundary, you will often find either a trench or a small ridge going along the boundary. At a conservative plate boundary, there are very few features to be seen, save for the large crack in the ground. Sometimes there can be some cliff forming at the fault line. Earthquakes are very common. At a collision plate boundary, large fold mountains will be formed.
What type of mountain would you expect to find at a convergent boundary?
Convergent boundaries are where plates move into one another. When the Indian Plate collided with the harder Eurasian Plate the Indian Plate went underneath and raised up the Eurasian Plate to form the Himalayas.
Where on earth would you find a subduction zone?
You could find subduction zones in the depths of the oceans, at some plate boundaries. At this location, you would observe one tectonic plate (a plate of lower density then the other) being slipped under another plate into magma. These are also known as destructive boundaries, because crust is being destroyed, (as opposed to diverent boundaries where leaking magma creates new crust.)
What type of plate boundary are most earthquakes found at?
All three type of Earthquakes (Shallow-seated, Medium-seated and Deep-seated) occur only at the Convergent plate boundary. At divergent plate boundary we find mostly Shallow-seated Earthquakes only.
What type of crust can be found on the south American plate where it meets the nazca plate?
At the boundary where the South American Plate meets the Nazca Plate, you can find subduction zones. The oceanic Nazca Plate is being forced beneath the continental South American Plate, forming a destructive plate boundary. This collision results in the formation of deep ocean trenches and the Andes mountain range due to the intense tectonic forces at work.
Where would you expect to find a mountain range?
You would expect to find a mountain range in regions where tectonic plates collide, such as along plate boundaries like the Himalayas (where the Indian plate collides with the Eurasian plate) or the Rocky Mountains (formed by the North American plate and Pacific plate).

Would you except to find plate boundaries here in Canada?
Yes, There are plate boundaries all over the world.
Where in the world would you find a destructive plate boundary?
Destructive plate boundaries, also known as convergent boundaries, can be found in various locations around the world where tectonic plates collide. Notable examples include the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate along the west coast of the United States, as well as the boundary between the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate, which forms the Andes mountain range in South America. These areas are often associated with significant geological activity, including earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
What type of mountain would you expect to find at a convergent boundary?
Convergent boundaries are where plates move into one another. When the Indian Plate collided with the harder Eurasian Plate the Indian Plate went underneath and raised up the Eurasian Plate to form the Himalayas.
What type of magma do you find at each of the different plate boundaries?
At divergent plate boundaries, you typically find basaltic magma. At convergent plate boundaries, where one plate is forced beneath another, you find andesitic to rhyolitic magma due to the melting of continental crust. At hot spots, which are unrelated to plate boundaries, you can find a variety of magma types depending on the composition of the mantle source.
Why do volcanoes occur along constructive and destructive plate boundaries?
Volcano's are caused by the dense oceanic plate being sub ducted under the lighter continental plate, this causes immense pressure as the oceanic crust enters the mantle it melts, this magma is forced to create a chamber creating rock as it cools, this results in a volcano being formed, volcano's have to erupt occasionally to disperse the pressure that is built up by the oceanic plate going under and melting under the continental plate.
What plate boundaries is mount Pinatubo on?
Don't know but I want to find out!
What type of plate boundary do you find ocean trenches on?
Convergent boundaries
Which boundary will you find a trench in the sea floor?
A destructive plate boundary (WITH a subduction zone!)
Where on earth would you find a subduction zone?
You could find subduction zones in the depths of the oceans, at some plate boundaries. At this location, you would observe one tectonic plate (a plate of lower density then the other) being slipped under another plate into magma. These are also known as destructive boundaries, because crust is being destroyed, (as opposed to diverent boundaries where leaking magma creates new crust.)
What is the relationship between the locations of crustal features on earth and the locations of plate boundaries?
Crustal features on Earth, such as mountains, volcanoes, and earthquakes, are closely related to the locations of plate boundaries, which are regions where tectonic plates interact. At convergent boundaries, where plates collide, we often find mountain ranges and volcanic arcs. Divergent boundaries, where plates move apart, typically feature rift valleys and mid-ocean ridges. Transform boundaries, characterized by lateral sliding of plates, are associated with fault lines and seismic activity.
