Which plate boundary creates new land like the seafloor at the mid-Atlantic ridge?
A Divergent Boundary
Is Mount Vesuvius near a hot spot divergent or convergent plate boundary?
Vesuvius is associated with a convergent boundary between the African Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
What land features are formed from a divergent boundary?
Mid-Ocean Ridge if the divergent boundary is underwater.Read more: What_feature_is_formed_in_divergent_boundary
What type of plate boundary is associated with a pull-apart rift zone?
What you call a pull apart rift zone is what is called a divergent boundary. Most divergent zones are located under water and are a zone where new oceanic crust is born. One location where a divergent zone can be seen on land can be found in Iceland.
What plate boundary produces new land?
transform boundary
What land form feature generally marks a divergent plate boundary?
The landform feature that generally marks a divergent plate boundary is the plate tectonic. This is mainly responsible for the changes on the surface of the earth.Ê
What is an example of a divergent boundary on land?
Cookies and milk.
Which plate boundary creates new land like the seafloor at the mid-Atlantic ridge?
A Divergent Boundary
Does a rift valley forms along a convergent boundary on land?
No, that would be a divergent plate boundary where a rift valley forms.
How can plate movement create super continent?
A divergent plate boundary helps create land, which means that it can create a big land piece, such as, a continent.
Is Mount Vesuvius near a hot spot divergent or convergent plate boundary?
Vesuvius is associated with a convergent boundary between the African Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
At a divergent boundary land is gained or lost?
At a divergent boundary, land is gained. Ocean ridges are prominent at divergent plate boundaries. Ocean ridges are areas of seafloor spreading. Seafloor spreading occurs as upwelling magma rises to the surface. This upwelling magma hardens and forms new seafloor.
What are the examples of divergent boundary?
Examples of a divergent boundary would be a mid-ocean ridge. Two plates are pulling apart from each other. If you have heard before, the magma from the asthenosphere find a way to get out through the crack of the diverging plates and makes new land. Another type of devergent boundary would be a fissure. It is a long linear crack made by the plates moving apart. I think maybe another one would probably be a volcano, but I am not sure.
Is a volcano a convergent boundary?
No. A volcano is not a plate boundary. Most volcanoes on land are associated with convergent boundaries, but many are associated with divergent boundaries and others with hot spots.

The formation of The East African Rift Valley is associated with what kind of boundary?
The East African Rift is a divergent plate boundary. It is a divergent plate boundary because the land is being split apart. The East African Rift is the initial stage in the break up of a continent. If the rifting continues, a linear sea will develop. If rifting continues a full fledged ocean will develop.
What type of plate boundary is associated with a pull-apart rift zone?
What you call a pull apart rift zone is what is called a divergent boundary. Most divergent zones are located under water and are a zone where new oceanic crust is born. One location where a divergent zone can be seen on land can be found in Iceland.
