What type of land features are found around divergent boundaries?
There are two places that divergent boundaries occur. Under the sea where magma pushes up to form lava ridges and at the divergence at the Red Sea near the Suez canal.
Where are rift boundaries formed at and what happens at them?
A rift boundary is a divergent boundary, where two plates of the earth's crust are moving away from each other. Divergent boundaries occur at mid-oceanic ridges on the sea floor, but usually the term rift is used to describe divergent boundaries on the land. The best known one is in eastern Africa.
Can volcanoes form along divergent plate boundaries on land?
yes
What forms when continental plates pull apart at divergent boundaries on land?
On land, this forms a rift valley. When the surface is submerged, it is called seafloor spreading.
What is it called when 2 plates move away from each other?
mid - ocean ridges, they're caused by divergent boundaries Rifts are also on land, such as the Great Rift Valley in Africa mid - ocean ridges, they're caused by divergent boundaries Rifts are also on land, such as the Great Rift Valley in Africa mid - ocean ridges, they're caused by divergent boundaries Rifts are also on land, such as the Great Rift Valley in Africa
What landforms are formed at diverging boundaries?
In plate tectonics, divergent boundaries occur when plates pull apart. On land, divergent boundaries form rifts or valleys. More commonly, divergent boundaries in the ocean occur and cause mid-oceanic ridges. Divergent boundaries can also form volcanoes when the plates separate enough to allow molten lava to seep out, harden, and eventually form islands.

What land features are associated with the process of orogenesis at divergent boundaries?
Horsts and grabens
What are the 3 main geographical boundaries?
convergent,divergent,and transform boundaries
What can divergent boundaries form?
A rift zone on land, a mid ocean ridge under the ocean.
