What else can I help you with?
If you are standing in the middle of the US what type of plate boundary is occurring near you?
You would be standing near a divergent plate boundary, where tectonic plates are moving away from each other. This boundary can be found in the middle of the North American Plate, spreading along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in the Atlantic Ocean.
Which two continents whose edges are not at all on the plate boundary?
Australia is in the middle of the Australian-Indian plate. Antarctica has its own plate, but the actual continent doesn't get near the plate boundary. It's plate is called, oddly enough, the Antarctic plate. Who would have figured? You could say that Africa's edges aren't on plate boundaries, but there are some places in northern Africa that get pretty close to being on a boundary.
What type of boundary forms when an oceanic plate is pushed under a continental plate?
A convergent boundary forms when an oceanic plate is pushed under a continental plate. This process, known as subduction, can result in the formation of deep ocean trenches, volcanic arcs, and earthquakes.
Where is the nearest plate boundary?
The nearest plate boundary can vary depending on your specific location. For example, if you are in the western United States, the nearest boundary is the San Andreas Fault, which is a transform boundary between the Pacific and North American Plates. If you're in the eastern U.S., the nearest major boundary would be the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, an underwater divergent boundary. To determine the precise nearest plate boundary, a specific location is needed.
What kind of Plate boundary is in japan?
Japan is at the meeting place of four tectonic plates: The Pacific Plate, The Eurasian Plates, The Philippine Plate, and the Okhotsk Plate (sometimes considered part of the North American Plate).
Which landform would most likely be found at a convergent subduction boundary?
convergent boundary -rift valley divergent boundary -mid-ocean ridge
Would you see the mantle at a plate boundary?
Yes, the mantle can be seen at a plate boundary where tectonic plates interact, such as at divergent or convergent boundaries.
An example of divergent plate boundary on a continental plate would be what?
The East African Rift Valley
Where would a convergent boundary be located on the ocean floor?
any where

Does a rift valley form along a colliding boundary?
No, it would form along a separating (divergent) tectonic plate boundary.
What type of boundary is new ocean crust crust formed?
This would be called a Spreading center, or a divergent plate boundary.

Japan is at the meeting place of four tectonic plates: The Pacific Plate, The Eurasian Plates, The Philippine Plate, and the Okhotsk Plate (sometimes considered part of the North American Plate).
Where would you be most likely to find a boundary between a continental and an oceanic plate?
You would be most likely to find a boundary between a continental and an oceanic plate along a convergent boundary, where the denser oceanic plate subducts beneath the less dense continental plate. This often leads to the formation of deep-sea trenches and volcanic activity.
