Another name for divergent boundaries that occur under the ocean is?
Sea floor spreading
What type of land features are found around divergent boundaries?
There are two places that divergent boundaries occur. Under the sea where magma pushes up to form lava ridges and at the divergence at the Red Sea near the Suez canal.
What type of plate boundary would you find where the sea floor spreads?
Seafloor spreading occurs at divergent plate boundaries under the ocean.
What are Two famous divergent boundaries?
the most famous divergent fault is the san Andreas faultEDIT: Actually, the San Andreas Fault is a Transform boundary. A Transform Boundary is when two plates are rubbing against each other while going opposite ways. A Divergent Boundary is when two plates move away from each other. Scientists have not pinpointed and named a Divergent Boundary but Divergent Boundaries usually occur under water in the sea, also called Sea Floor Spreading.
What types of boundaries are associated with volcanoes?
plates moving together
What can divergent boundaries form?
A rift zone on land, a mid ocean ridge under the ocean.
Another name for divergent boundaries that occur under the ocean is?
Sea floor spreading
What is happening when divergent plate boundaries create a large crack under water?
it is a tsunami or an under water volcano
What are divert boundaries?
divergent boundaries are under the ground earth quakes

What is it called when 2 plates pull apart?
Hi when to plates pul apart under the ocean its called tectonic plate drift or contenetial drift.This allows countries to moves centimetres evvey year in any direction the plate travels.sometimes the plates rub and can cause earthquakes ,volcanos or tsunamis.
What types of boundaries are associated with volcanoes?
plates moving together
What type of structure typically forms at a divergent boundary?
Three main structures form by convergent boundaries. There are three types of convergent boundaries, oceanic-oceanic, oceanic-continental, and continental- continental. Oceanic to oceanic boundaries form volcanic islands, because the two plates come together, one crust goes under, the other forms a mountain, and the lava from the crust that went under the other one goes through the mountain, making it a volcano. Oceanic- continental convergent boundaries form volcanoes, the continental crust form the mountain, the oceanice goes under and makes the lava that goes up through the mountain and makes a volcano. continental to continental boundaries form mountains. since both crusts are of the same density, they both shoot up and form a mountain.
What is in the north Atlantic Ocean is a volcanic island formed over a hot spot on a divergent plate boundary?
I believe this is Iceland, however it is not necessarily a hotspot as such, as notable hotspots do not occur on plate boundaries. An example of a hotspot is under Hawaii and neighbouring islands.
What causes melting of material under divergent plate boundaries Is it melting of rock recompression of rock freezing of rock or decompression of rock?
decompression of rock
