What kind of metamorphism might take place at a divergent boundary?

When a divergent boundary occurs beneath oceanic lithosphere, the rising convection current below lifts the lithosphere producing a mid-ocean ridge!!!Hope i helped.

Why does oceanic lithosphere sink beneath convergent lithosphere at convergent boundaries?

As odd as it is to think of things this way, continental lithosphere is more buoyant than oceanic lithosphere. The oceanic lithosphere is more dense.


What happens when there is faulting on the lithosphere?

Rocks move past one another (displacement occurs) and frequently this movement is accompanied by the release of energy in the form of an earthquake.
