Plate boundaries are characterized by the occurrence of earthquakes that result from the interaction and movement of broken lithospheric plates. Therefore, the presence of an earthquake belt is the best indicator of a plate boundary. While volcanoes can be present at plate boundaries, they are not a universal feature and can also occur in other geologic settings. Similarly, there is no specific chasm or physical feature that is present at every plate boundary.
