In plate tectonics, divergent boundaries occur when plates pull apart. On land, divergent boundaries form rifts or valleys. More commonly, divergent boundaries in the ocean occur and cause mid-oceanic ridges. Divergent boundaries can also form volcanoes when the plates separate enough to allow molten lava to seep out, harden, and eventually form islands.

Are mountains formed from diverging plates?
Mountain ranges are normally formed at convergent plate boundaries.
What forms at diverging plate boundaries?
At diverging plate boundaries, you get a rift valley.
What kind of landforms are formed at transform plate boundaries?
there are many landforms such as volcanoes moutains little islands and trenches may also form at the transformation plate boundaries. i think this is the answer
Types of landforms formed by divergent boundaries?
Volcanoes are formed. Sorry, that's all I know
What does diverging boundaries form?
is a boundary
What kind of landforms are formed at divergent plate boundaries?
Mid Ocean Ridges and Rift Valleys.
Where volcanoes occur?
volcano occur in hot spot and diverging boundaries and converging boundaries.
What feature forms at diverging oceanic plates?
Ridges of buoyant oceanic crust form at diverging oceanic plate boundaries.
Are the major lithospheric plates bounded by diverging and converging boundaries?
They are divided by divergent, convergent AND transform boundaries.
Is subduction characteristic of diverging plate boundaries?
No. Diverging means "moving apart." Subduction occurs at convergent plate boundaries, where two plates come together and one slides under the other.
How are plates moving at diverging boundaries?
To diverge means to move apart.
What are plates called that are divergent plate boundaries?
Diverging tectonic plates.
