What type of plate boundary closest to fresnocalifornia?
what type of plate boundary is closest to fresno,california
If you are standing in the middle of the US what type of plate boundary is occurring near you?
You would be standing near a divergent plate boundary, where tectonic plates are moving away from each other. This boundary can be found in the middle of the North American Plate, spreading along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in the Atlantic Ocean.
What type of plate boundary is lassen peak?
Lassen Peak is located within the Cascade Range in California and lies along the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. This boundary is a convergent plate boundary, where the plates are colliding.
What type of plate boundary is foud where the gorda plate meets the north american plate?
The boundary between the Gorda plate and the North American Plate is a transform boundary. Transform boundaries that lie at near land are the most destructive, which is the case in Southern California, which is close to this plate boundary.
What type of plate boundary does pacific and N American plate form?
The Pacific Plate and the North American Plate form a transform plate boundary where they slide past each other horizontally. This boundary is known as the San Andreas Fault system in California.
What type of plate boundary would be found along the coastline near japan's volcanic mountain ranges?
mid-oceanic ridges are near the mountain range at the divergent boundary
What is the type of movement that occurs at each type of plate boundary?
each plate boundary has a different boundaries. if you want the movement for a specific plate boundary, write the name of the plate boundary. :]
What are the two tectonics plates in California?
The Southern part of California is on the Pacific plate and the Northern part of California is on the North American plate.
What type of plate boundary is creating MtEtna?
A convergent plate boundary.
What type of plate boundary does reventador occur on?
Reventador volcano is located on the South American Plate boundary where the Nazca Plate is subducting beneath it. This type of plate boundary is known as a convergent boundary.
The San Andreas fault is what type of plate motion?
The San Andreas fault is a right-lateral (dextral) strike-slip fault which marks a transform (or sliding) boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. In essence the plate boundary is destructive rather than constructive but at present the energy is directed at moving the Pacific Plate in a generally northerly direction, parallel with the coastline.
What type of plate boundary is the Andes mountains?
The type of boundary that the Andes mountains are, in South America, is a convergent plate boundary. This was formed from the collision of the South American plate boundary and the Nazca plate.
