Is a tsunami found at a plate boundary?
Tsunamis usually originate at plate boundaries, particularly at subduction zones, but once they are triggered they can cross thousands of miles of ocean, striking areas far from any plate boundary.
What stresses the South American plate and the African Plate?
Far-field stresses triggered by portions of the northern boundary stress the African plate. Intraplate stresses are the driving forces in the South American plate
What type of plate boundary is Canada on?
Canada is on the North American plate, the eastern part of this plate extends to the mid-Atlantic ridge, however this is far from Canada. The western coast of Canada is a subduction zone for the most part with a small amount of the Queen Charolette fault towards the north. The subduction zone is called the Cascadia subduction zone.
Area of volcanic activity far from a tectonic plate boundary is called?
The area of volcanic activity far from a tectonic plate boundary is called a "hotspot." Hotspots are characterized by plumes of hot mantle material that can create volcanic islands and chains, such as the Hawaiian Islands. These volcanic activities occur independently of tectonic plate movements, often resulting in long-lived eruptions in a localized area.
Can a volcano form far from plate boundary?
Yes, volcanoes can form far from plate boundaries in locations known as hotspots. Hotspots are areas of volcanic activity that occur deep within Earth's mantle, causing magma to rise and create volcanoes on the surface. Examples include the Hawaiian Islands and Yellowstone National Park.
What type of plate boundary is creating kilauea?
None. Kilauea is over a hot spot, far from the nearest plate boundary.
How far is Hawaii from a plate boundary?
2000 miles

How far is Guatemala under sea level?
The city of Guatemala is actually over sea level at aprox. 1600 mts.
What is an area of volcanic activity far from a tectonic plate boundary?
mantle plume
Why does a constructive plate boundary produce a shield shape and a destructive plate boundary produce a cone shape?
Its to do with the viscosity of the lava, the thicker (more viscous) the lava the slower and less far it will travel making a shield volcano. This happens on a constructive plate boundary. on a destructive plate boundary the lava is less viscous and runs further making a conical shaped volcano

Whose city is larger Mexico city panama city Guatemala city?
In terms of population, Mexico City is by far the largest:Mexico City: 21.16 millionGuatemala City: 4.1 millionPanama City: 1.4 million
What part of the United States has a plate boundary running through it?
The far west coast, along California, is the location of a famous plate boundary known as the San Andreas Fault. This fault is a transform fault boundary, meaning that the Pacific plate to the west and the North American plate to the east rub against each other in a parallel motion but don't create new lithosphere or destroy old lithosphere. This fault is the reason for all the large and small earthquakes in the California area, including the San Francisco earthquake of 1906.
How far from Boston mass to Guatemala city?
2,238 miles, as the crow (or the seagull, Cessna 182, etc.) flies.
