What happens when you have divergent boundaries by submarine eruptions and intrusions of rhyolitic magma?
Divergent boundaries by submarine eruptions and intrusions of rhyolitic magma will form new crusts of the ocean. This commonly takes place in the hydrosphere.
How do valcanoes form at divergent plate boundaries?
Beneath the Earth's crust is a lot of magma. Thus as the plates pull apart, it leaves a gap through which the magma can travel and erupt as lava. For example at the Mid Atlantic Ridge, there are divergent plate boundaries. The 'gap' between the divorcing plates allows magma to boil through, building up the ridge in the process.
Mafic magma is generated at divergent boundaries because of?
decompression melting
Ocean ridges are formed by what boundaries?
Divergent boundaries form ocean ridges.
What type of land features are found around divergent boundaries?
There are two places that divergent boundaries occur. Under the sea where magma pushes up to form lava ridges and at the divergence at the Red Sea near the Suez canal.

How are oceanic ridges form?
divergent boundaries
How plates move at divergent boundaries?
Plates are moved at a divergent boundary by the magma pushing upwards.
Mafic magma is generated at divergent boundaries because of?
decompression melting
What happened at divergent boundaries?
divergent boundaries happen when 2 plates move apart or divide
What happens to magma divergent boundaries?
At divergent boundaries, two plates move apart from each other and the space that this creates is filled with new crustal material sourced from molten magma that forms below.
What kind of magma is formed at divergent boundaries?
Usually a dense basaltic magma with low water content.
Ocean ridges are formed by what boundaries?
Divergent boundaries form ocean ridges.
What type of land features are found around divergent boundaries?
There are two places that divergent boundaries occur. Under the sea where magma pushes up to form lava ridges and at the divergence at the Red Sea near the Suez canal.
How does magma form ay divergent boundaries?
Hot mantle rock rises to fill rift zones. When rock rises, a decrease in pressure causes hot mantle rock to melt and form magma.
How does magma form at convergent and divergent boundaries?
At divergent boundaries, two plates move apart from each other and the space that this creates is filled with new crustal material sourced from molten magma that forms below.
