Another name for divergent boundaries that occur under the ocean is?
Sea floor spreading
What type of boundary occurs in the new ocean floor?
New ocean floor is created at mic-ocean ridges which are divergent plate boundaries.
Ocean ridges are formed by what boundaries?
Divergent boundaries form 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.

Do Divergent boundaries only occur on the ocean floor?
No. They can also occur on continents.
Another name for divergent boundaries that occur under the ocean is?

Where do most divergent plate boundaries occur?
Ocean ridges
The mid-ocean ridge occur along transform boundaries?
Mid ocean ridges occure at divergent boundaries.
Where do most divergent boundaries occur?
divergent boundaries mostly occur when 2 tectonic plates move apart from each other and this is due to the currents movement. On earth, the form drift vallies and fault. Example can be san andreas fault on western side of united state of america.
Which type of boundary do mid-ocean ridges occur?
divergent
Where can divergent divergent boundary be found?
Most divergent boundaries can be found on the ocean floor. divergent boundaries create Rift Valleys An example of this is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge discovered by Harry Hess.
What type of boundary occurs in the new ocean floor?
New ocean floor is created at mic-ocean ridges which are divergent plate boundaries.
Are all divergent boundaries located at mid ocean ridges?
No. Divergent boundaries can occur on continents. The most notable example of this is the East African Rift.
Ocean ridges are formed by what boundaries?
Divergent boundaries form ocean ridges.
In which location would an ocean ridge?
The mid-ocean ridge is almost in all of the oceans
The youngest rocks on the ocean floor are located where?
The youngest rocks on the ocean floor are located at mid-ocean ridges. These ridges are always found at divergent boundaries.
