Is a fault block mountain formed from a divergent or convergent boundray?

A fault block mountain is typically formed from a divergent boundary. As tectonic plates move apart, blocks of crust are uplifted along fault lines, creating fault block mountains. Examples include the Sierra Nevada in California.


What type of fault is formed when pates are pushed together?

A divergent boundary.


What kind of fault occurs at the divergent plate boundaries?

A normal

Divergent boundary is formed


Is a new oceanic crust formed at a transform fault boundary?

No. New oceanic crust is formed at a divergent boundary. A convergent boundary neither creates nor destroys crust.

Why don't volcano's form along San Andres fault?

When volcanoes form, they are typically caused by a convergent or divergent motion. The San Andreas Fault was formed from a transform motion, or when the plates slide past each other.


What type of fault makes a rift valley?

A rift valley is formed by a divergent boundary fault, specifically a normal fault. This type of fault occurs when two tectonic plates move apart, creating tensional stress that leads to the pulling apart of the Earth's crust and the formation of a rift valley.


Which fault would be found on divergent boundary?

A normal fault is typically found on a divergent boundary. This type of fault occurs as the Earth's crust is being pulled apart, causing one side to move downward relative to the other.


Is a rift the result of a convergent fault?

No, a rift is the result of a divergent fault where tectonic plates move away from each other. This leads to the creation of a rift valley as the Earth's crust is pulled apart.
