What kind of fault would you expect to find at a divergent plate margin?

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.
