a plate boundary
there are constructive plate boundaries, destructive plate boundaries, conservative plate boundaries and collision plate boundaries
I'm guessing you're talking about the tectonic plates? Divergence.
A Transform Boundary Is When Two Tectonic Plates Slide By One Another
Where 2 plates slide past each other in a horizontal motion that boundary is called a Transform Boundary, or a fault.
Tectonic plates are the plates that move underground and cause volcanoes - I hope this answers your question. Z
When two tectonic plates are forced together, it creates a convergent plate boundary, where one plate is forced beneath the other in a process called subduction. The pressure and friction between the plates cause the Earth's crust to fold and uplift, leading to the formation of mountain ranges.
subduction occurs where 2 continents meet or where the tectonic plates meet. :)

The meeting point of two plates is called a plate boundary. At plate boundaries, tectonic forces cause the plates to interact with each other, resulting in various geologic phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountains.
No. Everything lies on a tectonic plate. Cities that lie near where 2 tectonic plates meet have earthquakes. Tectonic Plates expand and contract, and it is often that they expand and rub against each other. As they rub, they may overlap and cause an earthquake. Obvioulsy, a city directly above where they overlap will feel it more than a city which is in the middle of a tectonic plate.
Mt Eyjafjallajökull (whew!) is on 2 different tectonic plates.

When two tectonic plates separate, it is called seafloor spreading. This process occurs at mid-ocean ridges where new oceanic crust is formed as magma rises from below the Earth's surface and solidifies.
Tectonic plates colliding generally form mountains.
an earth quake happens when two plates meet
