∙ 12y agoTectonic plates move apart at divergent boundaries and at these faults new crust is being formed and so these are also constructive boundaries.
When this occurs on oceanic plates it is referred to as seafloor spreading and on continental plates it forms rift valleys.

∙ 12y agoYou can check a science book if im not correct a normal fault is formed when they diverge

∙ 15y agowhen plates diverge a normal fault is formed

The mountains most commonly found at divergent plate boundaries are .?
Fault block mountians
What are plate boundary settings?
There are three main plate boundaries, convergent plate boundaries,divergent plate boundaries and transform fault boundaries. Convergent plate boundaries are when the plates collide together, this often causes mountain building. Divergent plate boundaries are when plates are moving apart, this is what caused the Mid Atlantic Ridges. Transform Fault Boundaries is when they move past each other horizontally, this boundary dosent cause any new landforms.
Is melting of the mantle achieved by decreasing pressure at divergent plate boundaries?
Yes. Decompression melting occurs at divergent plate boundaries as pressure on the mantle material decreases due to the withdrawal of oceanic crust at spreading centers.
The force tension at a divergent plate boundary causes a what?
The force that occurs at divergent boundaries is a convection force. This force allows material to rise to the base of the lithosphere beneath each divergent plate boundary.
What are the differences between the three types of plate boundaries?
divergent, transform and convergent divergent plate boundaries move away from each other, convergent plate boundaries move toward each other, and transform plate bounties slide past each other.
What is a fault of a volcano?
A volcano is not a type of fault. Volcanoes can be found at convergent and divergent plate boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.
What type of movement occurs at plate boundaries?
Convergent,Divergent, and Transform Boundaries
What type of fault is a volcano?
A volcano is not a type of fault. Volcanoes can be found at convergent and divergent plate boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.
What are the main types of tectonic plate boundaries?
There are three primary types of tectonic plate boundaries. They pertain of Divergent boundaries, Convergent boundaries and Transform-fault boundaries.

Is a reverse fault often located along a divergent plate boundary or convergent?
A reverse fault is often found at convergent plate boundaries.
What type of plate boundary forms earthquake?
earthquakes indicate both convergent,divergent and transform fault plate boundaries
What type of plate boundary forms rift valleys?
A divergent plate boundary.
Is melting of the mantle achieved by decreasing pressure at divergent plate boundaries?
Yes. Decompression melting occurs at divergent plate boundaries as pressure on the mantle material decreases due to the withdrawal of oceanic crust at spreading centers.
What type of plate boundary produces strong earthquakes?
Any type of plate boundary can cause an earthquake. That said, areas along convergent, divergent, and transform tectonic plate boundaries are the most likely places for earthquakes to occur.
The force tension at a divergent plate boundary causes a what?
The force that occurs at divergent boundaries is a convection force. This force allows material to rise to the base of the lithosphere beneath each divergent plate boundary.
