Best Answer

A divergent boundary between two oceanic crusts can cause mid-ocean ridges such as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

A divergent boundary between two continental crusts can cause rift valleys like the East African Rift Valley.

Many volcanoes can be formed from the outflow of magma onto Earth's surface, and even volcanic islands such as Iceland can be formed.

What kind of boundaries can cause earthquakes and volcanoes?

Earthquakes can occur at any type of plate boundary, but the most powerful earthquakes tend to occur at convergent boundaries and at transform boundaries.


What is primary cause of volcanoes and earthquakes?

Convergent and transform boundaries


what structures are created at each type of convergent boundaries?

Convergent boundaries are where two tectonic plates hit each other. This can cause earthquakes, but can also create mountains.


Are the Pontic Mountains formed by Convergent boundaries or Transform boundaries?

Convergent.


What causes magma to form at convergent boundaries?

the mid ocean ridges cause the magma to form at a convergent plate boundary.


Can convergent boundaries cause earthquakes?

yes they can because they run into each other


Which type of boundaries cause volcanic activity and can result in the formation of the islands?

convergent


Which type of boundaries cause volcanic activity and can result in the formation of islands?

convergent


What plate boundary can cause volcanoes?

What type of boundaries cause volcanoes? Divergent and transform fault boundaries cause volcanoes because they separate. Convergent boundaries cause earthquakes because they collide with other plates.


What kind of plates cause volcanoes?

Plates do not cause volcanoes. Volcanoes generally form at the boundaries between plates. They form at convergent and divergent boundaries.


What is an example of convergent boundaries?

An example of convergent plate boundaries on earth is the Himalayas. :)


How are convergent boundaries different from divergent boundries?

convergent boundaries collide but divergent boundaries move away from each other.
