Subduction doesnt occur at divergent boundaries, but rather they are found at convergent boundaries.

What plate boundary is a composite volcano on?
Composite volcanoes most often are found near subduction zones. They can be found at either oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundaries, oceanic-continental plate boundaries, or continental-continental plate boundaries. They are especially prevalent in the Pacific Ring of Fire. A few composite volcanoes, however, have been found at divergent boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.
Is the geothermal gradient associated with divergent plate boundaries greater than the gradient associated with subduction zones?
Yes. Due to the thinness of the lithosphere at the divergent plate boundary, and the upwelling of hot mantle rock.
What are the differences between the three types of plate boundaries?
divergent, transform and convergent divergent plate boundaries move away from each other, convergent plate boundaries move toward each other, and transform plate bounties slide past each other.
What types of boundaries do subduction zones form?
This forms on the plate tectonic boundaries.... particularly the convergent plate boundries.
Identify three tectonic settings where volcanoes commonly occur?
hot spots, divergent plate boundaries, and convergent plate boundaries.

How does Divergent plate boundaries move?
"Divergent" means drawing apart from a common point.
Is the geothermal gradient associated with divergent plate boundaries greater than the gradient associated with subduction zones?
Yes. Due to the thinness of the lithosphere at the divergent plate boundary, and the upwelling of hot mantle rock.
What type of plate boundary forms rift valleys?
A divergent plate boundary.
What type of plate boundary produces strong earthquakes?
Any type of plate boundary can cause an earthquake. That said, areas along convergent, divergent, and transform tectonic plate boundaries are the most likely places for earthquakes to occur.

At what type of plate boundary is new ocean crust formed?
Older material
What are plate boundaries that move away form each other?
divergent
The volcanic landforms at divergent ocean plate boundaries are .?
The volcanic landforms at divergent ocean plate boundaries are oceanic ridges.
