What type of volcanic rock is generally found at divergent plate boundaries?

If the divergent boundary is located between two ocean plates, the lava that erupts will likely be called mafic. This lava is relatively low in silica but high in magnesium and iron.

What three features can be found at divergent boundaries?
Rifts Mid-oceanic ridges Volcanic islands
Is volcanism found at convergent and divergent boundaries of tectonic plates?
Volcanism can be found at both convergent and divergent plate boundaries.
Is subduction common at divergent plate boundaries?
Subduction doesnt occur at divergent boundaries, but rather they are found at convergent boundaries.
Where are shallow earthquakes found?
divergent plate boundaries
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.

Subduction doesnt occur at divergent boundaries, but rather they are found at convergent boundaries.
Where can divergent divergent boundary be found?
Most divergent boundaries can be found on the ocean floor. divergent boundaries create Rift Valleys An example of this is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge discovered by Harry Hess.
Where are most divergent boundaries found?
On the seafloor. Yes, the mid oceanic ridges are all divergent boundaries.
Where are shallow earthquakes found?
divergent plate boundaries
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 are the different types of boundaries found along the edges of plates?
convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, transform boundaries and plate boundaries
What are the types of boundaries found along the edges of earths plates?
