What type of landscape feature would you find at an oceanic and oceanic plate divergent boundary?
none
Which ocean would you find divergent plate boundaries?
The Oceans that are associated with divergent plates boundary includes; Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Antarctic Ocean and Indian Ocean.
What are Two famous divergent boundaries?
the most famous divergent fault is the san Andreas faultEDIT: Actually, the San Andreas Fault is a Transform boundary. A Transform Boundary is when two plates are rubbing against each other while going opposite ways. A Divergent Boundary is when two plates move away from each other. Scientists have not pinpointed and named a Divergent Boundary but Divergent Boundaries usually occur under water in the sea, also called Sea Floor Spreading.
Can gold be found at a divergent plate boundary?
Usually when plates move away from each other it is called a divergent plate boundary and it usually forms a mid-ocean ridge or just and ocean. Just because plates diverge doesn't necassarily mean that you will find gold, but depending on locattion and the elements it might be possible. It is not definite though.
What type of plate boundary would you find where the sea floor spreads?
Seafloor spreading occurs at divergent plate boundaries under the ocean.
What type of landscape feature would you find at an oceanic and oceanic plate divergent boundary?
none
What might you find at the mid ocean ridge?
at the mid-ocean ridge you can find the youngest oceanic plate and a divergent boundary.
What type of plate boundary are most earthquakes found at?
All three type of Earthquakes (Shallow-seated, Medium-seated and Deep-seated) occur only at the Convergent plate boundary. At divergent plate boundary we find mostly Shallow-seated Earthquakes only.
Which ocean would you find divergent plate boundaries?
The Oceans that are associated with divergent plates boundary includes; Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Antarctic Ocean and Indian Ocean.
Where are divergent boundaries found in the world?
I think you mean a divergent boundary. A divergent boundary is where two plates are moving away from each other. They are mostly found at oceanic spreading centers. The most well known one would be the Mid-Atlantic Ridge located in the center of the Atlantic Ocean.

What are the examples of divergent boundary?
Examples of a divergent boundary would be a mid-ocean ridge. Two plates are pulling apart from each other. If you have heard before, the magma from the asthenosphere find a way to get out through the crack of the diverging plates and makes new land. Another type of devergent boundary would be a fissure. It is a long linear crack made by the plates moving apart. I think maybe another one would probably be a volcano, but I am not sure.

Would you expect to see a folded mountain range at an ocean ridge?
No. A mid-ocean ridges is a divergent boundary. You find folded mountain at convergent plate boundaries.
What crustal features are found at each type of plate boundary?
At a destructive or convergent plate boundary, you will often find volcanoes, though a little way away from the actual boundary. Earthquakes will be common. At a constructive or divergent plate boundary, you will often find either a trench or a small ridge going along the boundary. At a conservative plate boundary, there are very few features to be seen, save for the large crack in the ground. Sometimes there can be some cliff forming at the fault line. Earthquakes are very common. At a collision plate boundary, large fold mountains will be formed.
What type of plate boundary would you find where the sea floor spreads?
Seafloor spreading occurs at divergent plate boundaries under the ocean.
What type of plate boundary would you find a fault line?
Normal faults are mostly on Divergent plate boundaries. where two lithospheric plates move away from eachother. means that tensile forces there that act in opposite direction. Mian Amir Javed Pakistan Shani1_pak@hotmail.com
