Are subducting plate boundaries the same as convergent plate boundaries?
Yes, subducting plate boundaries are a type of convergent plate boundary where one tectonic plate moves under another plate. Convergent plate boundaries, in general, are locations where two tectonic plates move towards each other. Subduction is a specific mechanism of convergence.
What type of plate boundary formed at islands?
Islands can form at various types of plate boundaries, including divergent boundaries where tectonic plates move apart, convergent boundaries where plates collide, and transform boundaries where plates slide past each other. Island formation is often influenced by volcanic activity associated with plate boundaries.
What is similar in convergent plate boundary ocean to ocean and convergent plate boundary continent to continent?
They are the same size
What kind of tectonic plate boundary does Mount Kenya sit on?
mount Kilimanjaro sits on a divergent plate boundry
What are the three types of plate movement?
The movement of tectonic plates causes earthquakes. There are three types of plate movement. The first is Divergent Boundaries (pulling apart), Covergent Boundaries (coming together), and Transform Boundaries. When these boundaries move, huge amounts of energy are unleashed. This results in tremors that can change the Earth's surface.the colliding plate(converging)boundary is the movements of plates towards each other that causes the formation of trenches....the strike-slip(transforming)boundary is the movement of plates side-ward that causes the deformation of land forms.......the spreading (diverging)boundary is the movement of plates away from each other that causes to the formation of ridges and rift in the ocean and mountain or hills in the land.......
What are the Names of the 4 plate boundaries?
I think there 1)Destructive (convergent) 2)collision(convergent) 3)constructive(divergent) 4)conservative(transform) the brackets are the same words
Do all plate boundaries operate the same way?
No, some are convergent (against each other), some are divergent (away from each other), and most boundaries are transform (horizontal grinding) at some point.

Why do earthquakes occur at greater depths along convergent plate boundaries?
Convergent boundaries are boundaries where tectonic plates are moving together. Since the edges of both can't be in the same place, one plate will be forced under another plate (and the other above). The plate going 'down' will thus go deeper into the earth - allowing deeper earthquakes to occur.
What is similar in convergent plate boundary ocean to ocean and convergent plate boundary continent to continent?
They are the same size
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).

Are the plate boundaries the same as the edges of continents?
No. Not all plate boundaries are at the edges of continents, nor do all edges of continents correspond with plate boundaries. Many plate boundaries are found in the middle of oceans, while the continent of Africa is being torn apart by a developing plate boundary. Some edges of continents, such as the west coast of South America are near plate boundaries. These are called active continental margins. Others, such as the east coast of North America, are nowhere near plate boundaries. These are called passive continental margins.
What type of structure typically forms at a divergent boundary?
Three main structures form by convergent boundaries. There are three types of convergent boundaries, oceanic-oceanic, oceanic-continental, and continental- continental. Oceanic to oceanic boundaries form volcanic islands, because the two plates come together, one crust goes under, the other forms a mountain, and the lava from the crust that went under the other one goes through the mountain, making it a volcano. Oceanic- continental convergent boundaries form volcanoes, the continental crust form the mountain, the oceanice goes under and makes the lava that goes up through the mountain and makes a volcano. continental to continental boundaries form mountains. since both crusts are of the same density, they both shoot up and form a mountain.
