what type of plate boundary is the el misti volcano on?

Stratovolcanoes are usually located on the continental crust above a subducting tectonic plate. The magma feeding the stratovolcanoes of the Andes Mountains, including El Misti, is associated with ongoing subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South American Plate.

Iceland sits spanning the Mid-Atlantic Ridge tectonic plate boundary which separates the Eurasian and the North American plates. The ridge, an underwater mountain chain, extends about 16,000 km along the north-south axis of the Atlantic Ocean.

San Andreas Transform Plate Boundary The transform plate boundary between the Pacific and North American Plates in western California formed fairly recently.

The North American Plate has a transform boundary with the Pacific Plate, dividing California at the San Andreas Fault. Here, the Pacific Plate moves northwest with respect to the North American Plate.

Most active divergent plate boundaries occur between oceanic plates and exist as mid-oceanic ridges. Divergent boundaries also form volcanic islands, which occur when the plates move apart to produce gaps that molten lava rises to fill.

The boundary between the African Plate and the Eurasian Plate in the Mediterranean Sea is a convergent boundary.

Think about this... Recall that there are three types of plate boundaries: convergent, divergent, and transform. Volcanism occurs at convergent boundaries (subduction zones) and at divergent boundaries (mid-ocean ridges, continental rifts), but not commonly at transform boundaries.

San Andreas Transform Plate Boundary The transform plate boundary between the Pacific and North American Plates in western California formed fairly recently. About 200 million years ago, a large tectonic plate (called the Farallon Plate) started to subduct beneath the western edge of North America.

Natural phenomena such as earthquakes, mountain formation, and volcanoes occur at plate boundaries. Mountains are usually formed at what are called convergent plate boundaries, meaning a boundary at which two plates are moving towards one another. This type of boundary eventually results in a collision.

The San Andreas Fault is the boundary between two of Earth's tectonic plates: the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. This boundary is a transform boundary. The Pacific Plate is moving to the north and west, while the North American Plate is moving to the south and east.

TECTONIC PLATES. Mt St Helens is on the plate boundary between Juan de Fuca and the North American plates, the boundary is also a part of the Ring of Fire. The Juan de Fuca plate is an oceanic plate and the North American plate is a continental plate.

There are 2 main types of subduction zones: Oceanic-oceanic plate boundaries: If the subducting plate subducts beneath an adjacent oceanic plate, an island arc is formed. Examples include the Aleutians, the Kuriles, Japan, and the Philippines, all located at the northern and western borders of the Pacific plate.

['Plates rip apart at a divergent plate boundary, causing volcanic activity and shallow earthquakes;', 'At a convergent plate boundary, one plate dives (“subducts”) beneath the other, resulting in a variety of earthquakes and a line of volcanoes on the overriding plate;']

Like many other volcanoes, Lassen Peak formed along a convergent plate boundary between an oceanic and a continental plate. In the case of Lassen Peak, it is the North American plate and the Pacific Plate that are colliding.

Mount Tambora formed at a convergent plate boundary, where the Indo-Australian Plate subducts under the Eurasian Plate. Tambora is a stratovalcano, with an elevation of 2,850m (9,350ft). When the volcano erupted in 1815, it was given a volcanic explosion index (VEI) of 7.
