What type of plate boundary is Yellowstone?

It is not on a plate boundary, but rather on a hot spot (like Hawaii is).


Why is Hawaii located not at a plate boundary?

Hawaii is located in the middle of the Pacific Plate, which is a stable tectonic plate. The Hawaiian Islands were formed by a hot spot underneath the plate, where magma rises and creates volcanic islands as the tectonic plate moves over it. This is why Hawaii is not located at a plate boundary, such as a divergent or convergent boundary.


What plate boundary is Yellowstone on?

It's not on a boundary. It's on a hotspot, similar to Hawaii.


What type of plate boundary is involved in volcano kilauea?

None. Kilauea and all the Hawaiian volcanoes were created by a hot spot rather than a plate boundary.


What type of plate boundary is creating kilauea?

None. Kilauea is over a hot spot, far from the nearest plate boundary.


What plate boundary is the boundary at which plates collide or come together?

The plate boundary at which plates collide or come together is called a convergent boundary. At convergent boundaries, one plate is typically forced beneath the other in a process known as subduction. This collision can lead to the formation of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic activity.


How far is Guatemala city from a plate boundary?

Guatemala City is located approximately 75 miles (120 kilometers) away from the closest plate boundary, which is the subduction zone along the Middle America Trench where the Cocos Plate is subducting beneath the Caribbean Plate.


What boundary is the mauna loa on?

If we consult a map showing tectonic plates, we can see that Mauna Loa is on the Pacific plate. The general rule is that volcanic activity usually appears along plate boundaries, but Mauna Loa and the Hawaiian Islands sit on what is called a hot spot in approximately the middle of Pacific plate.


What are the all the boundary?

Convergent plate boundary, divergent plate boundary and strike-slip (transform) plate boundary.


Is Yellowstone located at a divergent plate boundary?

Yellowstone is situated within a tectonic plate, not at a plate boundary! Volcanic activity is thought to be as a result of a mantle plume, much like the volcanism that created the Hawaiian Island chain.


Is a tsunami found at a plate boundary?

Tsunamis usually originate at plate boundaries, particularly at subduction zones, but once they are triggered they can cross thousands of miles of ocean, striking areas far from any plate boundary.


What is an area of volcanic activity far from a tectonic plate boundary?

mantle plume
