The process of upwelling magma is found a divergent boundaries.

As this magma nears the surface it decompresses, and some of it flows onto the surface of the Earth as lava. Magma that solidifies beneath the surface of the Earth hardens into gabbro while lava on the surface of the Earth hardens into basalt. Both of these are igneous rocks. Metamorphic rocks are formed from the heat flowing from the igneous rocks. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the sediments collecting in the basins created from rifting (that is, the divergent boundaries). Metamorphic and sedimentary rocks are not considered to be formed at divergent boundaries.

What process found at a divergent boundary will help form metamorphic rocks?

The process that is found at a divergent boundary that will help form metamorphic rocks is metamorphism. This refers to the change in the composition or structure of a rock by heat and pressure.


Where are most common extrusive rocks generated from?

mostly in divergent boundary is basalt.


What processes found at convergent boundary will help form the following rocks?

At a convergent boundary, the processes of subduction, where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, can lead to the formation of metamorphic rocks such as schist and gneiss. Additionally, the intense heat and pressure generated by the collision of two plates can cause the melting of rocks, leading to the formation of igneous rocks like granite.

At which boundary would it be easiest to obtain igneous rocks?

At a divergent plate boundary, where new crust is created by infilling magma, creating igneous rock.

What does the following sentences mean Soils were once rocks?

This mean that rocks over a long period of time becomes. Through processes such as weather rocks are broken down into smaller and smaller peices and (through other processes) become soils.


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.
