| Earth Science Help! Please help! Read additional details? I need help with earth science. I have this question and i can't find the answer anywhere please help Here is the question: With what type of plate boundary are the following places or features associated: Himalayas Aleutian Islands Andes Mountains Iceland Japan Mt. St. Helens Please help and if you find the answer online please include the link |

| Himalayas: a continental collision or orogeny along the convergent boundary between the Indo-Australian Plate and the Eurasian Plate Aleutian Islands: island arc which is a chain of volcanic islands or mountains formed by plate tectonics as an oceanic tectonic plate subducts under another tectonic plate and produces magma. Andes Mountains: the subduction (An oceanic plate ordinarily slides underneath a continental plate) of the Nazca plate beneath the South American plate. This is convergent boundary also. Iceland: Located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, Iceland is volcanically and geologically active on a large scale; this defines the landscape in various ways. This is a a divergent boundary Japan: island arc which is a chain of volcanic islands or mountains formed by plate tectonics as an oceanic tectonic plate subducts under another tectonic plate and produces magma. Mt. St. Helens: the subduction (An oceanic plate ordinarily slides underneath a continental plate) of the Juan de Fuca plate beneath the North American plate. This is convergent boundary also. |

| (ignore this answer i need to post it some where : |) Scientists believe that the solar system was formed when a cloud of gas and dust in space was disturbed, maybe by the explosion of a nearby star (called a supernova). This explosion made waves in space which squeezed the cloud of gas and dust. Squeezing made the cloud start to collapse, as gravity pulled the gas and dust together, forming a solar nebula. Just like a dancer that spins faster as she pulls in her arms, the cloud began to spin as it collapsed. Eventually, the cloud grew hotter and denser in the center, with a disk of gas and dust surrounding it that was hot in the center but cool at the edges. As the disk got thinner and thinner, particles began to stick together and form clumps. Some clumps got bigger, as particles and small clumps stuck to them, eventually forming planets or moons . Near the center of the cloud, where planets like Earth formed, only rocky material could stand the great heat. Icy matter settled in the outer regions of the disk along with rocky material, where the giant planets like Jupiter formed. As the cloud continued to fall in, the center eventually got so hot that it became a star, the Sun, and blew most of the gas and dust of the new solar system with a strong stellar wind. By studying meteorites, which are thought to be left over from this early phase of the solar system, scientists have found that the solar system is about 4,600 million years old! |

| First try reading your textbook, or whatever reading your teacher recommended before giving you this assignment. I find it very hard to believe that you would be asked a question that was not answered in your textbook or covered in class. |
