that is false
What else can I help you with?
What can occur at divergent plate boundaries?
plant boundaries move together
A geologic feature of divergent plate boundaries in oceanic crust is the formation of?
rift valleys
Where do most divergent plate boundaries occur?
Ocean ridges
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.
Which type of plate boundary does rift volcanism occur?
Divergent plate boundaries n_n ;*
What explains the locations of mountains trenches and volcanoes?
The locations of mountains, trenches, and volcanoes are primarily influenced by plate tectonics. Mountains form at convergent plate boundaries where plates collide and create uplift. Trenches are formed at subduction zones where one plate is forced beneath another. Volcanoes can occur at convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, and hot spots where magma rises to the surface.
Is subduction common at divergent plate boundaries?
No, subduction is not common at divergent plate boundaries. Divergent plate boundaries are characterized by plates moving away from each other, which creates new oceanic crust. Subduction occurs at convergent plate boundaries where plates collide and one descends beneath the other.
Volcanoes usually occur along what plate boundaries?
transform and divergent
What types of boundaries for trenches and volaconoes and mountain?
Trenches, volcanoes, and mountains are typically associated with tectonic plate boundaries. Trenches often form at convergent boundaries where one plate subducts beneath another, leading to deep oceanic trenches. Volcanoes primarily occur at divergent boundaries, where plates separate, or at convergent boundaries where subduction leads to melting of the mantle. Mountains usually arise at convergent boundaries where two continental plates collide, causing the crust to buckle and fold, creating mountain ranges.
Where are deep oceanic trenches found?
Trenches occur at convergent boundaries when one tectonic plate which is more dense, is pushed beneath another tectonic plate that is less dense. This process is called subduction. Usually where divergent boundaries in the earth's crust are. When faults move apart, they create trenches.<-- no divergent boundaries in the ocean create mountain ridges not trenches http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a4/SubZone.jpg
Do divergent boundaries have earthquakes?
Earthquakes can, and do, occur at divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
Do divergent plate boundaries only occur on the ocean floor?
No, divergent plate boundaries can occur both on the ocean floor and on land. When they occur on the ocean floor, they create mid-ocean ridges, while on land they can create rift valleys.
