Oceanic Ridges, when the plates separate magma leaks out through the surface and creates a small ridge or mountain. Repetition of this causes the ridge to get larger and larger as time progresses.

When two continental plates diverge does a transform boundary form?
no
Convergent boundaries can be divided into 3 categories what are these categories and what geological feature are created by each?
The categories are a continental and a continental plate colliding, continental and oceanic plates colliding, and oceanic and oceanic plates colliding. The two continental plates form mountains. The continental and oceanic plated colliding cause subduction zones and volcanoes. Oceanic and oceanic plates colliding form a trench.
What feature forms at diverging oceanic plates?
Ridges of buoyant oceanic crust form at diverging oceanic plate boundaries.
These are formed when oceanic plates slide under continental plates?
When oceanic plates slide under continental plates they form subduction zones. Subduction zones always occur at convergent boundaries where one plate slides beneath another plate.
Which landform is likely to form where two oceanic plates push together?
folded mountain
Which features form when two oceanic plates converge?
subduction zones
Where do Rift zones rift valleys linear oceans and oceanic ridges features form?
They form in areas of the Earth in which continental or oceanic plates are pulling apart.
What features form where plates converge?
Convergent features:Are similarities that do not indicate relatedness
When two oceanic plates diverge?
Volcanoes form from the exposure of lava in the Earth's mantle. B Actually this is wrong, it forms a mid oceanic ridge. Do some more research next time. C. Actually it forms a Mid-Ocean Trench both of you do better reserch next time.
When two continental plates diverge does a transform boundary form?
no
How do the mountains that form along an oceanic-oceanic convergent boundary differ from those associated with an oceanic continental convergent boundary?
the oceanic plates are denser than continental plates, therefore, when oceanic plates and continental plates converge, the oceanic will go under the continental plates. But when two oceanic converge either both will rise to form moutains, or both will sink and cause a trench.

Does a rift valley form when two continental plates diverge?
yes it does
What forms when oceanic plates and continental plates form?
convergent boudary

Where in geographic location is oceanic plate found?
Oceanic plates form the 'floors' of the worlds oceans.
What feature forms at diverging oceanic plates?
Ridges of buoyant oceanic crust form at diverging oceanic plate boundaries.
