Are the edges of plate boundaries the same as the edges of the continents?
Answers
Many continents occur in the middles of plates, not at their boundaries or edges. Plates also underlie the Earth's oceans. A single plate often includes both continental and oceanic regions. So your answer is No, the edges of plate boundaries isn't the same as the edges of the continents.
There are many misconceptions about geological concepts. There is a list here, developed by Kent Kirby of the University of Minnesota. This post is to debunk one of those misconceptions. There will be others. Find them here.
Misconception: The edge of a continent is the same thing as a plate boundary.
There is a natural sensibility to Geology’s Theory of Plate Tectonics. Obviously, continents have moved, because of the puzzle-like fit of the continent edges across the Atlantic Ocean.
