as the plates separate , hot rock from the upper mantle is drawn upwards and it partially melts
No, a stratovolcano is not a divergent volcano. Stratovolcanoes are typically found at convergent plate boundaries where one tectonic plate is being subducted beneath another, leading to the formation of explosive volcanoes. Divergent volcanoes, on the other hand, are associated with divergent plate boundaries where plates move away from each other, creating rift zones and shield volcanoes.
No, divergent boundaries do not cause the formation of mountains. Instead, mountains are typically formed at convergent boundaries where tectonic plates collide. Divergent boundaries are where plates move away from each other, creating rifts and oceanic ridges.
A volcano is not a type of fault. Volcanoes can be found at convergent and divergent plate boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.
A volcano is not a type of fault. Volcanoes can be found at convergent and divergent plate boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.
Katmai is a divergent volcano, located along the boundary of the Pacific and North American tectonic plates. It is part of the Aleutian volcanic arc, where the subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the North American Plate creates volcanic activity. This setting leads to the formation of stratovolcanoes, characteristic of divergent plate boundaries.
The Laki volcano is located at a divergent plate boundary, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are moving apart. This boundary is associated with the formation of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
No. A volcano is not a plate boundary. Most volcanoes on land are associated with convergent boundaries, but many are associated with divergent boundaries and others with hot spots.
A volcano itself is not an example of a plate boundary. They are found at divergent and convergent boundaries.
Its because they are zones/areas of new crustal formation/creation.
Volcanoes can form at convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, and at hot spots away from any plate boundary.
