Ocean ridges are formed by what boundaries?
Divergent boundaries form ocean ridges.
Are divergent plate boundaries associated with folded mountains and deep sea trenches?
No. Sea floor trenches are found at convergent boundaries. divergen boundaries form mid-ocean ridges.
What happens when you have divergent boundaries by submarine eruptions and intrusions of rhyolitic magma?
Divergent boundaries by submarine eruptions and intrusions of rhyolitic magma will form new crusts of the ocean. This commonly takes place in the hydrosphere.
Is a stratovolcano a divergent volcano?
No. Stromboli is associated with a subduction zone, which is a convergent boundary.
What are the geologic features found at divergent plate boundaries?

Ocean ridges are formed by what boundaries?
Divergent boundaries form ocean ridges.
Do divergent boundaries cause island arcing?
No. Divergent boundaries cause mid ocean ridges (MORs) to form.
What can divergent boundaries form?
A rift zone on land, a mid ocean ridge under the ocean.
In which location would an ocean ridge?
The mid-ocean ridge is almost in all of the oceans
Are divergent plate boundaries associated with folded mountains and deep sea trenches?
No. Sea floor trenches are found at convergent boundaries. divergen boundaries form mid-ocean ridges.
How are oceanic ridges form?
divergent boundaries
What landforms are formed at diverging boundaries?
In plate tectonics, divergent boundaries occur when plates pull apart. On land, divergent boundaries form rifts or valleys. More commonly, divergent boundaries in the ocean occur and cause mid-oceanic ridges. Divergent boundaries can also form volcanoes when the plates separate enough to allow molten lava to seep out, harden, and eventually form islands.
What happens when you have divergent boundaries by submarine eruptions and intrusions of rhyolitic magma?
Divergent boundaries by submarine eruptions and intrusions of rhyolitic magma will form new crusts of the ocean. This commonly takes place in the hydrosphere.
What are plate boundaries that move away form each other?
divergent
Where do most divergent boundaries occur?
divergent boundaries mostly occur when 2 tectonic plates move apart from each other and this is due to the currents movement. On earth, the form drift vallies and fault. Example can be san andreas fault on western side of united state of america.
Where is divergent boundary found?
Most divergent boundaries are found beneath the oceans . Mid-ocean ridges form at these divergent boundaries . Because the plate s are pulling away from each other , cracks form in the lithosphere .Melted rock can rise through these cracks . When the melted rock cools and hardens , it becomes new lithosphere.
Is a stratovolcano a divergent volcano?
No. Stromboli is associated with a subduction zone, which is a convergent boundary.
