the Mid-Ocean Ridge.
Sometimes plate boundaries coincide with those of the continental landmass, the majority do not. Subduction zones such as those around the Pacific are located offshore and influence the shape of South America - the Chile-Peru trench, Alaska, Japan etc. In the Atlantic it is the opening of the Atlantic that is mirrored by South America and Africa, whilst the Mediterranean Sea is dying as Africa slowly pushes into Europe.

Not necessarily. Plate boundaries can occur both within continents and between continents. For example, the boundary between the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate runs mostly along the west coast of North America.

Which plate boundary occurs as continental crust collides with continental crust?
Convergent plate boundaries.
What are three sub types of convergent plate boundaries?
Oceanic-Oceanic, Oceanic-Continental, and Continental-Continental are all sub types of convergent plate boundaries.
What are the 3 subtypes of convergent plate boundaries?
1. Oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundary. 2. Continental-continental convergent plate boundary. and 3. Oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary.
What types of boundaries have subduction zones?
Convergent boundaries can form between two oceanic plates, between one oceanic plate and one continental plate, or between two continental plates.
Volcanoes most commonly form where?
volcanos mostly form on tectonic plate boundaries and hot stops
What are the three types of convergent plate boundries?
The three types of convergent plate boundaries are oceanic-continental, oceanic-oceanic, and continental-continental boundaries. Oceanic-continental boundaries occur when an oceanic plate subducts beneath a continental plate. Oceanic-oceanic boundaries happen when one oceanic plate subducts beneath another oceanic plate. Continental-continental boundaries involve the collision of two continental plates.
