What is a society that lives on an active boundary plate?

I assume you mean techtonic plate. In that case, all of California, basically - San Francisco mainly.

Fractured crust is the collective term for tectonic plates.

A society is a self-perpetuating grouping of individuals occupying a particular territory, which may have its own distinctive culture and institutions. The term is most commonly used to describe human societies, although it may be used to describe animal societies. The term may refer to a particular people, such as the Nuer, or to a nation state, such as Austria. In political science, the term is often used to mean the totality of human relationships, generally in contrast to the State, i.e., the apparatus of rule or government within a territory.\n\n    "I mean by it [State] that summation of privileges and dominating positions which are brought into being by extra-economic power... I mean by Society, the totality of concepts of all purely natural relations and institutions between man and man..." - Franz Oppenheimer, The State.[1]\n\nThe social sciences generally use the term society to mean a group of people that form a semi-closed social system, in which most interactions are with other individuals belonging to the group. More abstractly, a society is defined as a network of relationships between social entities. A society is also sometimes defined as an interdependent community, but the sociologist Tonnies sought to draw a contrast between society and community. An important feature of society is social structure, aspects of which include roles and social ranking.

The earth's crustal plates float on a layer called the Mantle, and it is convection in this mantle which drives the continental drift or plate tectonics.

hilly, earthquakes, mud slides, gay/lesbian rights movement,\ncrowded (populated), big houses, beaces, hot weather, on the coastline, longest state, huge zoo, seaworld, \nwell thats what i got .. hope it helps :o)

Continent is a geographical term and not a geological term (plate-tectonic).\n\nMajor geographical boundries of lands separating one from the other form a continent and thus a continent is a big peace of land separated through geographical differenciation from others.

There's no such thing as a volcanic plate.\n\nTechtonic plates "float" on the earth's mantle, and most of the earths volcanism occurs where those plates meet.  The motion of these plates is mostly driven by convection currents in the mantle and is beyond the scope of this post.

Places that are less geologically active, and less prone to quakes, should be away from subduction zones, away from hot spots and volcanoes, and in very old stable landmasses, like in the center of continents as long as it is not a young mountain range.\nThere are a few places, but it is likely they will have some other undesirable characteristics, like foul weather, pests, or lack of ressources.  The following link shows where the most recent earthquakes occured, the second one shows which area are more affected.

it is a strike-slip fault residing on the border of the pacific and north american tectonic plates

It is a divergent plate boundary found running down the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Hence the name "Mid Atlantic Ridge".\n\nThis is where two lithospheric plates are moving apart from each other.\n\nWhere they spread apart, new continental crust is being created. It is said that the US & the UK move about 1 - 2 inches apart every year. The US is getting further from Europe all the time!

Ok, at divergent plate boundaries the plates are constantly moving apart\n<---->\nthere are magnetic particles (mostly iron) on the sea floor and when the Earth's polarity switches these tiny particles all switch direction. So you can tell how fast the plates are moving apart and several other interesting things by observing this.

Kilauea Volcano (on the Big Island of Hawaii) is not on a plate boundary.  It's formed by a "hot spot" in the middle of the Pacific plate... trick question.\n\nKilauea (along with all the volcanoes in the Hawaiian chain) is a midplate volcano.

beacuse plate tectonics talks about how the plates of the earth move and interact with each other. plate tectonics can explain and help predict how and where earthquakes, volcanos and other geologic phenomena occur.

Convergent boundaries occur where two plates are being pushed together and collide. This is sometimes called a "destructive plate margin". One thing to keep in mind is that when subduction occurs, the denser plate (usually the older one) generally is considered to be the one that is pushed into the hot asthenosphere. Its rocks are melted and the resulting hot magma migrate upward along cracks and weakened areas in the overriding plate forming volcanoes. Of course, you always get earthquakes along with this process. The regions where the earthquakes occur are called the Wadati-Benioff zones. However, what actually happens depend on the composition of the crustal plates involved.\n\nOceanic colliding with continental crustal plates: An example of this is the subduction of the denser oceanic Nazca Plate under the South American Plate, pushing limestone strata upward to form the towering Andes and generating destructive earthquakes. Another example is the Cascadian subduction zone off the northwest coast of the U.S. you can find volcanoes along the subduction zones. Deep trenches are formed as a result of subduction.

Tectonics (and therefore earthquakes and volcanoes) is driven by the internal heat of the planet.\n\nEver since the Earth formed it has been cooling, so if anything tectonic activity is on a constant decline. The loss of heat is very slow though, so from the point of view of recorded human history there has been very little change.

The Earth is tectonically active because it has a heat source inside the planet.\n\nThis heat source is the decay of radioactive elements.  Mars is small enough that its heat source has decayed to pretty much nothing while Venus is big enough to still have a heat source.\n\nWe haven't really been observing Venus for very long so I think it a bit premature to conclude that it isn't tectonically active.
