Divergent boundaries are areas where continental or oceanic plates are moving away from each other and creating new crust. Examples would be the Mid-Oceanic Ridge and the East African Rift Zone.

What is a mountain chain at a divergent boundaries called?
mountain chains at divergent boundaries are called
Ocean ridges are formed by what boundaries?
Divergent boundaries form ocean ridges.
Is subduction common at divergent plate boundaries?
Subduction doesnt occur at divergent boundaries, but rather they are found at convergent boundaries.
Where do volcanoes occur around divergent plate boundaries?
yes they do occur along divergent boundaries
What do transform boundaries have in common with divergent boundaries?
Rhe tectonic plates are moving in both divergent and transform boundaries
How are oceanic ridges form?
divergent boundaries
How are convergent boundaries different from divergent boundries?
convergent boundaries collide but divergent boundaries move away from each other.

What are plate boundaries that move away form each other?
divergent
Where do volcanoes occur around divergent plate boundaries?
yes they do occur along divergent boundaries
What happens divergent boundaries?
divergent boundaries happen when 2 plates move apart or divide
Where are most divergent boundaries found?
On the seafloor. Yes, the mid oceanic ridges are all divergent boundaries.
What do transform boundaries have in common with divergent boundaries?
Rhe tectonic plates are moving in both divergent and transform boundaries
What are the four plate boundaries?
The four types of plate boundaries are divergent boundaries (plates moving apart), convergent boundaries (plates moving together), transform boundaries (plates sliding past each other), and subduction zones (one plate sinking beneath another).
At what boundaries do plates move apart?
Divergent boundary.
