what type of plate boundary is the el chichon volcano on?
319773
Volcano Type El Chichon is located on a convergent plate boundary, also know as a destructive plate boundary.

The location where two plates meet is called a plate boundary. Plate boundaries are commonly associated with geological events such as earthquakes and the creation of topographic features such as mountains, volcanoes, mid-ocean ridges, and oceanic trenches.

The two types of plate boundaries that are most likely to produce volcanic activity are divergent plate boundaries and convergent plate boundaries. At a divergent boundary, tectonic plates move apart from one another.

Along this divergent plate boundary are volcanoes such as Mount Nyiragongo, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Mount Kilimanjaro, in Kenya. At a convergent plate boundary, tectonic plates move toward one another and collide.

Mt Pinatubo lies is on a destructive plate boundary where the Eurasian and Philippine plates meet. The thinner less dense Eurasian plate is subducted below the Philippine plate.

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.

Volcanoes are most common in these geologically active boundaries. The two types of plate boundaries that are most likely to produce volcanic activity are divergent plate boundaries and convergent plate boundaries. At a divergent boundary, tectonic plates move apart from one another.

The western side is a divergent boundary with the Pacific Plate, forming the East Pacific Rise. The northern side is a divergent boundary with the Cocos Plate, the Galapagos Rise.

Transform boundaries: where crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the plates slide horizontally past each other.

Answer and Explanation: The three types of convergent plate boundaries include oceanic-continental convergence, oceanic-oceanic convergence, and continental-continental...

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.

In the case of the Haiti quake, the Caribbean and North American plates slide past one another in an east-west direction. This is known as a strike-slip boundary.

The eastern margin is a convergent boundary subduction zone under the South American Plate and the Andes Mountains, forming the Peru–Chile Trench. The southern side is a divergent boundary with the Antarctic Plate, the Chile Rise, where seafloor spreading permits magma to rise.

The Andes Mountain Range of western South America is another example of a convergent boundary between an oceanic and continental plate. Here the Nazca Plate is subducting beneath the South American plate.

Pacific Rim The San Andreas Fault is a transform boundary. Subduction of the Juan de Fuca plate beneath the North American plate creates the Cascade volcanoes.

VOLCANO PROFILE: RABAUL. Geophysical location: Boundary of Australian plate and Pacific plate, where the Pacific plate is subducting under the Australia (note: very simplified as there are a number of microplates involved as well).
