Seismic tomography, which exploits changes in seismic wave speed as a function of temperature and other properties to "image" the interior structure of the lithosphere and mantle, can help fill in some details of the geometry of plate boundaries with depth, but I'm not aware of an application where it's been used to reveal the location of a plate boundary we didn't already know about through other means.
