Why are normal faults common along divergent boundary's?
why are
The mid-ocean ridge occur along transform boundaries?
Mid ocean ridges occure at divergent boundaries.
Why are faults sometimes referred to as active boundaries?
because tectonic plates actively move and shift along faults
What kind of faults would you expect to find in the mid Atlantic Ridge?
Transform and normal faults form along mid-ocean ridges such as the Mid-Atlantic ridge.
Where do volcanic mountains commonly form?
A. along convergent plat boundaries. B. At high elevations. C. Away from plate boundaries. D. Along divergent plate boundaries. YOU DECIDE!!!
Where do most present day faults occur?
Most present-day faults occur along boundaries. The three types of geologic boundaries are transform boundaries, divergent boundaries and convergent boundaries.
A zone of shallow earthquakes along normal faults is typical of?
Divergent plate boundaries.
Why are normal faults common along divergent boundary's?
why are
What kind of fault would you expect to find at a divergent plate margin?
Divergent plate boundaries are moving apart so you would expect normal faults to form. Where these have significance on a regional scale they are known as detachment faults. It is also common to find transform faults running at right angles to divergent boundaries that cause offsets in the boundary along its length. Please see the related links for more information.
Are volcanoes more common along a convergent or divergent boundary?
Volcanoes are more common along convergent boundaries
Where do most transform faults occur?
Most present-day faults occur along boundaries. The three types of geologic boundaries are transform boundaries, divergent boundaries and convergent boundaries.
What happens along divergent boundaries?
along divergent boundaries tectonic plates move apart & rifts are created
Where do volcanoes occur around divergent plate boundaries?
yes they do occur along divergent boundaries
Is the volcano hekla along convergent or divergent plate boundaries?
Its along a divergent plate boundary.
What type of boundary is along ocean ridges?
Constructive or divergent. The ridge formed is of basaltic rock type (though this is a generalisation), and is a source of volcanic activity. Iceland was formed as a result of the sea-floor spreading.
What boundary is the cause of hot springs and fracture zones?
Hot springs and fractures are also common along divergent boundaries.
Do divergent boundaries have earthquakes?
Earthquakes can, and do, occur at divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
