A brief description of each with occurences:Convergent--the collision of two plates from opposite directions. Mountain formation, volcanic activity, earthquakes. Divergent--The pulling apart of two plates in opposite directions. Creation of new crust with volcanism. Ridges. Transform--Where plates slide past each other. Earthquakes, fault mountains.

What type of plate boundaries does the Eurasian plate have?

The Eurasian plate is primarily involved in three types of plate boundaries: convergent boundaries where it collides with other plates, such as the Indian Plate and African Plate; divergent boundaries where it moves away from other plates, such as the North American Plate; and transform boundaries where it slides past other plates, such as the Pacific Plate.


What are the 4 plates in plate boundaries?

The Are Seven Primary Plates, so there cannot be only Five Boundaries, I know the tectonic Plates are The 1. African Plate 2. Antarctic Plate 3. Eurasian Plate 4. Indo-Australian Plate 5. North American Plate 6. Pacific Plate 7. South American Plate There Are Three Basic types of boundary; Divergent, Convergent and Transform boundaries Hopefull somebody can tell you all their names of the boundaires between them because these different Plates will me touching two or More Plates hence a lot of different boundaries


Are plate tectonic plate boundaries?

There are three main types of plate tectonic boundaries: divergent boundaries, where plates move apart; convergent boundaries, where plates collide; and transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other horizontally. Each type of boundary has its own characteristic geologic features and tectonic activity.
