what type of plate boundary is the indo australian plate and pacific plate?

The Alpine Fault marks a transform boundary between the two plates, and further south the Indo-Australian Plate subducts under the Pacific Plate forming the Puysegur Trench. The southern part of Zealandia, which is to the east of this boundary, is the plate's largest block of continental crust.

The volcano sits above a subduction zone or destructive boundary within the extensional basin of the Taupo Volcanic Zone caused by the the subduction of the Pacific plate in an easterly direction beneath the Indo-Australian plate.

Australasia comprises Australia, New Zealand, the island of New Guinea, and neighbouring islands in the Pacific Ocean. Along with India most of Australasia lies on the Indo-Australian Plate with the latter occupying the Southern area.

This is a special type of convergent boundary called a collisional boundary. The Himalayas in India are the result of two continental plates (the Indo-Australian and Eurasian plates) colliding head on. The third type of plate boundary is called a conservative or transform boundary.

The three types of plate boundaries are Convergent, Divergent and Transform. ... An oceanic-oceanic convergent: Here the denser plate goes beneath the other in a subduction zone. A continental-continental convergent: And in this case the thickness of the crust doubles as the convergent makes mountains.

Australia is a continent and an island located in Oceania between the Indian Ocean and the South Pacific Ocean.

Himalayan Mountains are an example of a Continent-Continent convergent plate boundary where two slabs of continental crust have collided and compressing the crust and the acretionary wedge material and lifting it to form the Himalayan Mountains. Indonesia is another example of an Ocean-Ocean convergent plate boundary.

Answer and Explanation: The two types of tectonic plates are continental and oceanic tectonic plates.

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.

The subduction of the Indian oceanic plate beneath the Eurasian continental plate formed the volcanic arc in western Indonesia, one of the most seismically active areas on the planet with a long history of powerful eruptions and earthquakes.

Covers ocean-ocean and ocean-continent convergent plate boundaries, including the creation of volcanic arcs and earthquakes.

In the middle of the eastern side is a transform boundary with the North American Plate along the San Andreas Fault, and a boundary with the Cocos Plate. The south-eastern side is a divergent boundary with the Nazca Plate forming the East Pacific Rise.

In subduction zones we see convergent plate boundaries where two plates are colliding with each other and one of the plates is subducting back into the Earth. This type of plate boundary is particularly effective for causing tsunamis.

On 26 December 2004 a tsunami occurred in the Indian Ocean. It was the result of the Indio-Australian Plate subducting below the Eurasian Plate. It was caused by an earthquake measuring more than magnitude 9. The earthquake caused the seafloor to uplift, displacing the seawater above.

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).

At which type of plate boundary would a string of small volcanic islands most likely form? convergent ocean-ocean boundary.
