What can a line of volcanoes along a plate boundary tell you?

A line of volcanoes along a plate boundary indicates that the area is geologically active, typically due to tectonic processes such as subduction, rifting, or transform movement. This formation suggests that magma is generated from melting crust or mantle materials, which is often associated with specific types of plate interactions. The presence of volcanoes can provide insights into the nature of the boundary, whether it is convergent, divergent, or transform, and can help predict future volcanic activity in the region.


How can you know the location and kinds of plate boundaries on earth and is there a plate boundary on earth and is there a plate boundary near out area?

You know the location of a plate boundary by how the rocks and other geological features are in a curtain area, for example earthquakes and volcanoes are very common near a boundary. We can tell what kind of boundary it is by the way the ground is moving, if the ground is moving away from the boundary it is most likely a divergent boundary, and if the ground is moving towards the boundary it is likely to be a convergent. I hope that helped


What types of plate boundary?

Yes, It is convergent


What type of plate boundary formed at islands?

Islands can form at various types of plate boundaries, including divergent boundaries where tectonic plates move apart, convergent boundaries where plates collide, and transform boundaries where plates slide past each other. Island formation is often influenced by volcanic activity associated with plate boundaries.


Which volcanoes are located at hot spots?

Hot spots have generated all types of volcanoes but are most often. If you mean to ask about specific volcanoes, there are too many to count, so a few groups and notable volcanoes will be listed: The volcanoes of Hawaii The volcanoes of the Canary Islands The Yellowstone supervolcano The San Francisco volcanic complex (including Sunset Crater and the San Francisco Peaks) The volcanoes of Iceland (associated with both a hot spot and a divergent plate boundary).

What are three types of plate boundaries and how are they different?

Slip slide Reverse thrust Normal I think that's right. School sucks.The 3 types of tectonic plate boundaries are: constructive boundary, destructive boundary and conservative boundary.


What type of boundary is the Juan DE fuca plate?

It is a divergent plate boundary


What types of stress occurs at a divergent plate boundary?

Tensional stress


Convergent boundary three types are what?

Converging (destructive) plate boundary: where two plates collide. Diverging (constructive) plate boundary: where two plates move away from each other. Transform plate boundary: where two plates move, or grind, past each other. Like the boundary in California.
