a boundary between countries is called
The boundaries between two colliding plates is called a convergent  boundary.

All the plates have names, usually referring to landmasses, oceans, or regions of the globe where they are located. The border between two tectonic plates is called a boundary. All the tectonic plates are constantly moving — very slowly — around the planet, but in many different directions.Some are moving toward each other, some are moving apart, and some are sliding past each other.ll the plates have names, usually referring to landmasses, oceans, or regions of the globe where they are located. The border between two tectonic plates is called a boundary. All the tectonic plates are constantly moving — very slowly — around the planet, but in many different directions. Moving away from physical boundaries, we now come to cultural boundaries. Also called an ethnographic boundary, a cultural boundary is a boundary line that runs along differences in ethnicity, such as language and religion.When speaking of cultural boundaries based on language, a great example of this is found within the country of Canada, where French is the official language of Quebec.olitical boundaries are often formed by physical boundaries. An example of this is the Rio Grande River that separates the US from Mexico. An ethnographic boundary or a cultural boundary is a boundary line that runs along differences in ethnicity. 1 A single plate may be part oceanic and part continental. 2  In that case, the boundary between ocean crust and continental crust is not a plate boundary. 3  The mobile part of the mantle under the lithosphere is called the asthenosphere. An oceanic trench forms offshore, and a chain of volcanic mountains forms just inland of the coast. 2  This type of boundary between oceanic crust and continental crust is called an active continental margin since it is a plate boundary. 3  At other convergent boundaries, oceanic plate meets other oceanic plate. 1 The boundary between two plates can be a divergent boundary, a convergent boundary or a transform boundary. 2  The lithosphere is composed of the crust, and some of the upper mantle. 3  Mature oceanic plate is approximately 80-100 km thick, of which, the upper 5-7 km is oceanic crust. An oceanic trench forms offshore, and a chain of volcanic mountains forms just inland of the coast. 2  This type of boundary between oceanic crust and continental crust is called an active continental margin since it is a plate boundary. 3  At other convergent boundaries, oceanic plate meets other oceanic plate. Border vs Frontier vs Boundary. border the line that separates two countries or areas; the land near this line: a national park on the border between Kenya and Tanzania boundary a line that marks the edges of an area of land and separates it from other areas: The fence marked the boundary between my property and hers.he point where you cross from one country to another is usually called the border. In British English it can also be called the frontier, but this is often in a context of wildness, danger and uncertainty: The rebels control the frontier and the surrounding area.   This is a convergent plate boundary, the plates move towards each other. The amount of crust on the surface of the earth remains relatively constant. Therefore, when pla … tes diverge (separate) and form new crust in one area, the plates must converge (come together) in another area and be destroyed.he boundaries between countries affect the online activities and  liberties of the citizens.

The boundaries between the continents of Earth are generally a matter of geographical convention. Several slightly different conventions are in use. The number of continents is most commonly considered seven but may range as low as four when the Americas and Afro-Eurasia are each considered a single continent.urope and North America are separated by the North Atlantic. In terms of associating islands with either continent, the boundary is usually drawn between Greenland and Iceland. The Norwegian islands of Jan Mayen and Svalbard in the Arctic Ocean are usually associated with Europe. The line on a map that shows the border of a country can be called the boundary but boundary is not used when you cross from one country to another: After the war the national boundaries were redrawn.he point where you cross from one country to another is usually called the border. In British English it can also be called the frontier, but this is often in a context of wildness, danger and uncertainty: The rebels control the frontier and the surrounding area. Re: Border vs Frontier vs Boundary. A simple rule: Countries have borders. Boundary is for other separations between geographical areas. The only frontier this American would talk about would be historical between settled land and the untamed wilderness.he point where you cross from one country to another is usually called the border. In British English it can also be called the frontier, but this is often in a context of wildness, danger and uncertainty: The rebels control the frontier and the surrounding area.
