What type of structure typically forms at a divergent boundary?

Answer 1

Three main structures form by convergent boundaries. There are three types of convergent boundaries, oceanic-oceanic, oceanic-continental, and continental- continental. Oceanic to oceanic boundaries form volcanic islands, because the two plates come together, one crust goes under, the other forms a mountain, and the lava from the crust that went under the other one goes through the mountain, making it a volcano.

Oceanic- continental convergent boundaries form volcanoes, the continental crust form the mountain, the oceanice goes under and makes the lava that goes up through the mountain and makes a volcano.

continental to continental boundaries form mountains. since both crusts are of the same density, they both shoot up and form a mountain.

Answer 2

If you're thinking of ocean-ocean divergent boundaries, the structures formed are called mid-oceanic ridges. They represent some of the most newly-formed crust on the planet, and exist in every ocean. At ocean-ocean convergent boundaries, which are less common, you will get either subduction or uplift.

Answer 3

mountains form at divergent boundary

Well you would call it a Ridge

um actually that's convergent that makes mountains

Answer 4

Transform boundaries are one of the three types of plate boundaries. They are boundaries where two tectonic plates are sliding next to one another and form faults.

Answer 5

Mountains, ocean trenches, volcanic mountains, islands and arcs.

Answer 6

Mountains, volcanoes, island arcs, seamounts, accretionary wedges, trenches, and basins can be created at convergent plate boundaries.

Answer 7

A mid-ocean ridge
