Do divergent plate boundaries only occur on the ocean floor?
No. They can also occur on continents.
What are three areas where plate boundaries may be located?
Middle of the ocean floor, around the edges of the continents, and within the continents.
Are all plate boundaries located along the margins of continents?
No. Many plate boundaries are on the seafloor far from continents and several are well within continents.
In which area are volcanoes more likely to happen?
they are most likely to happen on the plate boundaries which are located at the edge of the continents. (or some are in the ocean)
What are two continents whose edges are not all on plate boundaries?
Europe and Asia have edges that are not ALL on plate boundaries.
If ocean basins are formed from divergent plate boundaries what is replacing the space where the plate once was?
nothing its empty with air
Where are most plate boundaries boundaries?
Most surround the continents. See the related link.

What two continents' edges are not on plate boundaries?
Europe and Asia have edges that are not ALL on plate boundaries.
Are the plate boundaries the same as the edges of continents?
No. Not all plate boundaries are at the edges of continents, nor do all edges of continents correspond with plate boundaries. Many plate boundaries are found in the middle of oceans, while the continent of Africa is being torn apart by a developing plate boundary. Some edges of continents, such as the west coast of South America are near plate boundaries. These are called active continental margins. Others, such as the east coast of North America, are nowhere near plate boundaries. These are called passive continental margins.
How do plate tectonics cause ocean basins?
the earth.
What are Two continents whose are not all on plate boundaries?
