What type of stress is dominant at plate boundaries?
Tensional stress.
What types of stress are present at divergent plate boundaries?
divergent plate boundaries are associated with normal faulting. Thus there is a horizontal least compressive stress, vertical most compressive stress and a intermediate horizontal stress. All stresses are orthoganal to each other.
Where do volcanoes occur around divergent plate boundaries?
yes they do occur along divergent boundaries
Is subduction common at divergent plate boundaries?
Subduction doesnt occur at divergent boundaries, but rather they are found at convergent boundaries.
Is the volcano hekla along convergent or divergent plate boundaries?
Its along a divergent plate boundary.

What type of plate boundary forms rift valleys?
A divergent plate boundary.
What types of plate boundaries are There?
There are divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
At what type of plate boundary is new ocean crust formed?
Older material
What are plate boundaries that move away form each other?
divergent
The volcanic landforms at divergent ocean plate boundaries are .?
The volcanic landforms at divergent ocean plate boundaries are oceanic ridges.
What are three types of plate bounderys?
the three types of plate boundaries are : -convergent plate boundaries -divergent plate boundaries -transformed plate boundaries
What are three types of bounderies?
the three types of plate boundaries are : -convergent plate boundaries -divergent plate boundaries -transformed plate boundaries
What stress causes rocks to pull apart?
The type of stress that causes rocks to pull apart is a tension stress. It is the major type of stress found in divergent plate boundaries.
What plate boundary creates?
Divergent Plate Boundaries
