What plate boundaries is Popocatepetl on?
I`ve heard it's on a divergent boundary. I am doing a report on this volcano for science class, and this is really frustrating me, haha so i thought i'd help ;) I'm pretty sure it's in between the Nazca and South American plates too. This person that posted before me is completely wrong so please do not use his information. If you look on a map of where this volcano is located, which is in Mexico. That is no where near the South American and Nazca Plate. The Popocatepetl volcano is a convergent boundary on the North American Plate with the Cocos Plate. I hope the person who requested this information looked a little bit more into this answer.
