Both types are out there, look at the side of your medal, if it says 999 silver, there is your answer. There were also bronze medals plated with silver, they should not have the 999 on the edge....

It is quadruple silver plate. It's still silver plate, but better quality silver plate.

The medals, designed by David Watkins measure just over 3 inches across and weigh close to a pound. They are the largest medals ever awarded at the Summer Games. Gold medals contain just 1% gold. The remaining metal mix is silver 92.5% and about 6% copper, which puts the material price under $650. Silver medals are mandated by the International Olympic Committee to contain at least 550 grams of "high quality silver." Despite the mandate and the rising price of silver, the second-place medals are worth about half of the gold medals. Bronze medals (like the one dented in a bizarre shower accident by Brazil's Felipe Kitadai) are made up of 97% copper, 2.5% zinc, and .5% tin. Based on current market prices, the raw value of the materials in the medals would bring less than $5.00.
The gold and silver medals are both made out of solid silver. The gold medal is then plated with gold. The gold plate is thin and if it is handled too often it will eventualy come away.
No, it has a thin plate of silver on a metal like copper or similar. As a general rule, if it includes the word "Plate"; It's not solid silver.
If the bowl is stamped "sterling," it is genuine sterling silver, not silver plate.
The plate boundary near Seattle is a convergent boundary. The Juan de Fuca Plate is subducting beneath the North American Plate, leading to the formation of the Cascade Range and causing seismic activity in the region.

No, alpha plate is not silver plate. Alpha plate is a type of base metal plating that contains alpha brass, which typically consists of copper and zinc. Silver plate, on the other hand, is a thin layer of silver that is electroplated onto a base metal.
