An example of a divergent plate boundary is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the Eurasian Plate and North American Plate are moving apart. An example of a transform plate boundary is the San Andreas Fault in California, where the Pacific Plate and North American Plate are sliding past each other horizontally.
Rabaul is on the Australian-Pacific plate boundary. The Australian-Pacific plate boundary is over 4,000 kilometers long and is situated by Papua, New Guinea.
The plate boundary at which plates collide or come together is called a convergent boundary. At convergent boundaries, one plate is typically forced beneath the other in a process known as subduction. This collision can lead to the formation of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic activity.
The force tension at a divergent plate boundary causes the two plates to move away from each other. As the plates separate, magma rises from the mantle to fill the gap, forming new crust. This process is known as seafloor spreading.
Andes, convergence between South American Plate and Pacific Plate
An example of a divergent plate boundary is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the Eurasian Plate and North American Plate are moving apart. An example of a transform plate boundary is the San Andreas Fault in California, where the Pacific Plate and North American Plate are sliding past each other horizontally.
an example of a convergent plate/boundary are mountain ranges
Yes, for example the San Andreas Fault is a plate boundary.
The North American-Eurasian Plate boundary.
The San Andreas fault is a transform plate boundary.
An example of convergent plate boundaries on earth is the Himalayas. :)

The Bárðarbunga volcano in Iceland (currently erupting) is an example. A diverging plate boundary passes through the island of Iceland.
Rabaul is on the Australian-Pacific plate boundary. The Australian-Pacific plate boundary is over 4,000 kilometers long and is situated by Papua, New Guinea.
Yes it is, due to the force of the plate sliding by each other.
