What else can I help you with?
How are oceanic ridges form?
divergent boundaries
Do divergent boundaries cause island arcing?
No. Divergent boundaries cause mid ocean ridges (MORs) to form.
What landforms are formed at diverging boundaries?
In plate tectonics, divergent boundaries occur when plates pull apart. On land, divergent boundaries form rifts or valleys. More commonly, divergent boundaries in the ocean occur and cause mid-oceanic ridges. Divergent boundaries can also form volcanoes when the plates separate enough to allow molten lava to seep out, harden, and eventually form islands.
Can volcanoes form along divergent boundaries on land?
yes
Ocean ridges are formed by what boundaries?
Divergent boundaries form ocean ridges.
What are plate boundaries that move away form each other?
divergent
Are divergent plate boundaries associated with folded mountains and deep sea trenches?
No. Sea floor trenches are found at convergent boundaries. divergen boundaries form mid-ocean ridges.
What are ways mountains can form along plate boundaries?
Transform, Divergent, and Convergent
What kind of plates cause volcanoes?
Plates do not cause volcanoes. Volcanoes generally form at the boundaries between plates. They form at convergent and divergent boundaries.
Is forming underwater mountains and volcanoes convergent divergent or transform?
Underwater volcanoes and mountains can form at both convergent and divergent boundaries.
How are convergent boundaries different from divergent boundries?
convergent boundaries collide but divergent boundaries move away from each other.
Where do these collision boudaries form?
Collision boundaries form at tectonic plate boundaries where two plates are either converging, diverging, or sliding past each other. These boundaries are categorized as convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, and transform boundaries, respectively.
