What type of magma do you find at each of the different plate boundaries?
At divergent plate boundaries, you typically find basaltic magma. At convergent plate boundaries, where one plate is forced beneath another, you find andesitic to rhyolitic magma due to the melting of continental crust. At hot spots, which are unrelated to plate boundaries, you can find a variety of magma types depending on the composition of the mantle source.
What type of rocks formed at divergent plate boundaries?
Mainly metamorphic, due the intense pressure. Some rocks will bend rather than break causing visible folds. Convergent plate boundaries can also produce igneous rocks from volcanic activity due to the subduction of the lighter crustal plate into the mantel which creates a tremendous amount of heat and pressure. Solidified magma may turn into granite. Magma which is blown out from a volcano may take the form of pumice, lava, obsidian, among others.
What type of plate boundary do you find ocean trenches on?
Convergent boundaries
Where are you most likely to find all three types of rock being formed?
You are most likely to find all three types of rock being formed at convergent plate boundaries, particularly subduction zones. Here, sedimentary rocks are subjected to heat and pressure, forming metamorphic rocks. As tectonic plates collide and melt, igneous rocks are also formed.
Where can you find all 3 Rock types together?
All three rock types—igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic—can be found together in regions where geological processes intersect, such as at convergent plate boundaries or mountainous areas. For example, in a mountain range, igneous rocks may form from volcanic activity, sedimentary rocks can accumulate in valleys or riverbeds, and metamorphic rocks may arise from the alteration of existing rocks due to heat and pressure. Additionally, geological formations like the Grand Canyon showcase layers of sedimentary rock along with intrusions of igneous rock and metamorphic rock.

Would you except to find plate boundaries here in Canada?
Yes, There are plate boundaries all over the world.

Where are you likely to find all three types of rocks being formed and changed?
You are likely to find all three types of rocks being formed and changed in the Earth's lithosphere, particularly at plate boundaries where tectonic forces create igneous rocks through volcanic activity, metamorphic rocks through intense heat and pressure, and sedimentary rocks through the accumulation and compression of sediment over time.

Where on Earth can you find collisional boundary?
grandfather mountain
What do you use to find plate boundaries?
Linear patterns of earthquakes is one method of detecting them.
Where can I find igneous in the Caribbean?
Some locations in the Caribbean where you can find igneous rocks include the volcanic islands such as Martinique, Saint Lucia, Grenada, and Montserrat. These islands have volcanic origins and exhibit various igneous rock formations due to past volcanic activity. Additionally, the Lesser Antilles arc is a region where igneous activity is present due to the subduction of the Atlantic Plate beneath the Caribbean Plate.
Why are igneous rock found in collision zones?
There are many explanation to your question. The most abundant type of rocks in collision zones are metamorphic rocks. But if there is a igneous it can as a result of convergence boundaries. In subduction zones where rising magma are penetrate through weaker rocks to form form lava and when solidified forms igneous rocks. You can also find them in accretion zones. Where 2 continental plates are accreted due to plate movement. They are not newly formed igneous. they have been there for years before accretion.
What are three types of orogeny?
Continental-continental, Oceanic-oceanic and Oceanic-continental convergent boundaries.
