What else can I help you with?
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.
Which type of plate boundary would be most likely to lead to above-ground activity?
convergent!
What is the effect of plate movement at a divergent boundary?
The effect of subduction at the boundary of two plates is the movement of one tectonic plate under another tectonic plate. This creates a subduction zone, which often occurs in convergent boundaries.
Which type of plate boundary would be most likely lead to above ground volcanic activity?
convergent!
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.
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.
What do you think you would see at the plate boundary?
At a plate boundary, you would likely see geological features such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountains or ocean trenches. These boundaries are where tectonic plates meet and interact, leading to dynamic changes in the Earth's crust.
Is there any plate boundaries in Maryland?
Yes, Maryland is located in the middle of the North American Plate, so there are no plate boundaries within the state. The closest plate boundary would be the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which is located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
At what type of plate boundary is new ocean crust formed?
Older material
What type of plate boundary would have less silica content?
A divergent plate boundary would have less silica content compared to a convergent plate boundary. Divergent boundaries involve the separation of tectonic plates, with new oceanic crust forming from magma that is relatively low in silica content. In contrast, convergent boundaries involve the collision of tectonic plates, resulting in the melting of crust with higher silica content, leading to more explosive volcanic activity.

What are Convergent plate boundary's?
convergent boundaries are easy to find most of them are found in the ocean. One Famous convergent plate boundary would be the Sunda Double Trench. It is found in the Indian ocean and it reaches a depth of 24,440 feet. It is the deepest trench in the Indian Ocean.
Which type of plate boundary would be most likely to lead to above-ground activity?
convergent!
What are plate boundaries that move away form each other?
divergent

Which type of plate boundary would be most likely lead to above ground volcanic activity?

What is the direction of movement from a divergent boundary?
the direction divergent boundaries move from is away from each other.
