Oceanic-oceanic plate divergence, such as that occurring at the mid-ocean ridges.
The faults found there are Crestmonitic Faults. These faults are highly explosive. The volcanoes underneath the faults are very toxic to inhale.
Mid-oceanic ridges.
why are
Mid ocean ridges occure at divergent boundaries.
because tectonic plates actively move and shift along faults
Transform and normal faults form along mid-ocean ridges such as the Mid-Atlantic ridge.
A. along convergent plat boundaries. B. At high elevations. C. Away from plate boundaries. D. Along divergent plate boundaries. YOU DECIDE!!!
Most present-day faults occur along boundaries. The three types of geologic boundaries are transform boundaries, divergent boundaries and convergent boundaries.
Divergent plate boundaries.
why are
Divergent plate boundaries are moving apart so you would expect normal faults to form. Where these have significance on a regional scale they are known as detachment faults. It is also common to find transform faults running at right angles to divergent boundaries that cause offsets in the boundary along its length. Please see the related links for more information.
Volcanoes are more common along convergent boundaries
Most present-day faults occur along boundaries. The three types of geologic boundaries are transform boundaries, divergent boundaries and convergent boundaries.
along divergent boundaries tectonic plates move apart & rifts are created
yes they do occur along divergent boundaries
Its along a divergent plate boundary.
Constructive or divergent. The ridge formed is of basaltic rock type (though this is a generalisation), and is a source of volcanic activity. Iceland was formed as a result of the sea-floor spreading.
Hot springs and fractures are also common along divergent boundaries.
Earthquakes can, and do, occur at divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
