What is the boundary type between pacific plate and the nazca plate?
At the western edge of the Nazca plate and the eastern edge of the Pacific plate lies the East Pacific Rise. The East Pacific Rice is known as a mid-ocean ridge, formed from a divergent boundary.
Is the pacific plate the largest plate?
The plate boundary at the East Pacific Ridge(Rise) is a diverging boundary. Ridges usually occur where two boundaries are diverging(seperating, or spreading apart, thus creating a ridge. -Textbo7
What type of plate boundary created the East African Rift Valley?
The East African Rift is on the African plate. However, it is the point where this plate is splitting into two. These are the Somali plate and the Nubian plate. For more information visit, https://sites.google.com/site/wikieasierpages/east-african-rift
Is the Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano on a convergent divergent or transform boudary?
it is on a convergent boundary if I remember right but I'll post another answer if I'm wrong
Is a mid-ocean ridge an underwater volcano?

Where is active seafloor spreading occurring today?
At any divergent plate margin: The Mid-Atlantic Ridge The boundary between the African Plate and Arabian Plate (the Red Sea) Great Rift Valley West Antarctic Rift East Pacific Rise Pacific-Antarctic Ridge Galapagos Rise Gakkel Ridge
What is an example for a divergent boundary?
Here are examples of a divergent boundary: The Mid-Atlantic ridge, Red Sea Rift, Baikal Rift Zone, East African Rift, East Pacific Rise, Gakkel Ridge, Galapagos Rise, Explorer Ridge, Pacific-Antarctic Ridge, and the West Antarctic Rift.
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.
Does mt Kilimanjaro lie on a tectonic boundary?
Sort of. It is in the East African Rift. This is not formally recognized as a plate boundary, but can be considered a divergent plate boundary in its early stages.
What type of plate boundary causes rifts in the earth's crust?
It Is an east boundry because it is in the east and the way the water in flowing it depends on the people of Africa
