What else can I help you with?
What do you think you would see at the plate boundary?
At a plate boundary, you would likely see geological features such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountains or ocean trenches. These boundaries are where tectonic plates meet and interact, leading to dynamic changes in the Earth's crust.
What type of plate boundaries is shown in the diagram?
convergent oceanic-continental boundary
What is the definition of the word plate boundaries?
See related link below.Plates are big sheets of rock that move by the convection in the mantle. And a boundary is a line that marks the limits of an area also called a dividing line. So the plates on the crust that are constantly moving have names for ex: the pacific plate which is under the pacific ocean the boundary is the place where the plates meet on all sides(where the pacific plate ends).
Can I see a map showing the tectonic plates location in U.S.?
Tectonic plate boundaries in the US include the Pacific Plate, North American Plate, and Juan de Fuca Plate. The San Andreas Fault marks the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. The Cascadia Subduction Zone is the boundary between the Juan de Fuca Plate and the North American Plate in the Pacific Northwest.
Which of the following is true about convection in Earth's mantle and tectonic plate motion?
Convection in Earth's mantle drives the motion of tectonic plates. As the mantle heats up and rises, it moves the plates above it in a process known as plate tectonics. This convection helps create features like mountains, volcanoes, and earthquakes.
What plate boundary is Kailua on?
The Hawaiian Islands are not on or near to a plate boundary. One explanation is that the Hawaii volcanoes sit on top of a hot spot in the mantle called a 'mantle plume'. This theory is however being challenged and other causes of mantle melting are being proposed see the link below.
What plate is Kilauea on?
Mount Kilauea (in Hawaii) does not lie on a plate boundary. The Hawaiian volcanoes occur in the middle of an oceanic plate.This lead people to theorize that Hawaii must lie over a hot spot on the earth caused by some underlying mechanism. The concept of a mantle plume was developed to explain the Hawaiian hot spot, and the theory of mantle plumes has become something of a geological dogma. Recent research papers on the subject hotly contest the existence of mantle plumes and provide other mechanisms to explain hot spots. See the links below.

A tectonic plate moving westward what geological effects would you expect to see on its northern edge?
1. If a plate moved westward, then in the westward side there would be a convergent boundary resulting in a trench. In the eastern side, there would be a divergent plate boundary resulting in a ridge. In the northern and southern side, there would be a transform fault.
What plate boundary is Haiti on?
Haiti is located near the northern boundary of the Caribbean plate, close to where it meets the North American plate. Please see the related question.
What type of plate boundary is found near Haiti?
A strike-slip plate boundary is found near Haiti, specifically the boundary between the North American Plate and the Caribbean Plate. This boundary is associated with the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault system that runs through the region.
What type of plate boundary runs across iceland?
Iceland is situated on a divergent plate boundary known as the Mid Atlantic Ridge. Please see the related links.
What boundary is the mauna loa on?
If we consult a map showing tectonic plates, we can see that Mauna Loa is on the Pacific plate. The general rule is that volcanic activity usually appears along plate boundaries, but Mauna Loa and the Hawaiian Islands sit on what is called a hot spot in approximately the middle of Pacific plate.
What type of plate boundaries is shown in the diagram?
convergent oceanic-continental boundary
What boundary do subduction zones form on?
Subduction zones form along some tectonic plate boundaries. Of the three general types of tectonic plate boundaries, we will see them form at some (but not all) of what are called convergent plate boundaries.

What is the closest plate boundary to Vancouver Canada?
The closest plate boundary to Vancouver, Canada is the Cascadia Subduction Zone, located offshore along the west coast. This subduction zone is where the Juan de Fuca Plate is being pushed beneath the North American Plate, causing the potential for large earthquakes and tsunamis in the region.
