The Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the East African Rift are two examples of mountain ranges formed by divergent boundaries. The movement of tectonic plates away from each other at these boundaries causes molten rock to rise to the surface, creating new crust and pushing the existing crust upwards to form mountains.

What boundary is it called when new crust is being formed?
Divergent Boundary, (Constructive Boundary).
What type of boundary is along ocean ridges?
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.
Were the the Appalachians formed by a divergent boundary or a convergent boundary?
The Appalachians were formed by a convergent boundary. Around 480 million years ago, the collision of tectonic plates led to the formation of the supercontinent Pangaea, which ultimately resulted in the creation of the Appalachian Mountains.
What landforms form at a continental and oceanic divergent plate boundary?
The landforms that could develop at a continental and oceanic divergent plate boundary includes; Rifts and Volcanic Mountains.
Is a new oceanic crust formed at a transform fault boundary?
No. New oceanic crust is formed at a divergent boundary. A convergent boundary neither creates nor destroys crust.
What type of boundary is formed when plate separate?
Divergent boundary is formed

What is the type of boundary formed when plates separate?
Divergent Boundary :D
Which type of mountain forms because of a divergent plate boundary?
A rift valley forms due to a divergent plate boundary. As the plates move apart, the crust stretches and thins, creating a depression that can eventually develop into a valley with steep walls. An example of a rift valley formed by a divergent boundary is the East African Rift.
When two plates move away from one another we have a?
divergent boundary where new crust is formed.
Where new crust is formed?
New crust is formed at a divergent boundary
What plate boundary formed lake Victoria in Africa?
spreading or divergent boundary
What type boundary is formed when plates separate?
A divergent plate boundary (ridge)
When the ridge in the middle of the Atlantic ocean formed along what boundary?
Divergent boundary
What is formed when tectonic plates separate?
a divergent boundary
What type of boundary is along ocean ridges?
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.
