It is a convergent boundary The subduction of the pacific plate underneath the west coast of South America creates the uplift and volcanoes that is still producing the Andean mountain range. A divergent boundary would create a mid-ocean ridge, or somthing akin to the great rift valley in Africa.
The West Coast of Africa
The Atlantic Ocean touches the west coast of Africa.
gabon is located in South west Africa at the coast and is surrounded by eqitorial guenia and Congo.
It is?
Convergent
over time the plate boundary's great older and over heated , the west coast is finding out how to find out more about this .
California is a slip fault and Chile is a thrust fault.

The West Coast of Africa
Oceanic crust is destroyed at a convergent boundary where subduction occurs. An example includes the boundary between the Nazca and South American plate on the west coast South America.
Portugal explored the coast of west africa
Ivory Coast is located on the west coast of Africa.Ivory Coast is a country in West Africa. It is on the continent of Africa.
It is probably because the East Coast is not beside faults or at the edge of and tectonic plates. If you look at the West Coast, California has a fault. This causes volcanoes in Washington and Oregon.
Me, personally? I live near Sacramento, California, USA, and the nearest plate boundary is about 100 miles to the west, the boundary between the North American plate and the Pacific.
