Which ocean would you find divergent plate boundaries?
The Oceans that are associated with divergent plates boundary includes; Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Antarctic Ocean and Indian Ocean.
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.
What type of plate boundary would you find where the sea floor spreads?
Seafloor spreading occurs at divergent plate boundaries under the ocean.
What landforms do you find in a divergent plate boundary?
Ocean ridges
What are Two famous divergent boundaries?
the most famous divergent fault is the san Andreas faultEDIT: Actually, the San Andreas Fault is a Transform boundary. A Transform Boundary is when two plates are rubbing against each other while going opposite ways. A Divergent Boundary is when two plates move away from each other. Scientists have not pinpointed and named a Divergent Boundary but Divergent Boundaries usually occur under water in the sea, also called Sea Floor Spreading.

Why do you find volcanoes at convergent and divergent boundaries but not at transform boundaries?
Convergent and divergent boundaries melt rock in the upper mantle while transform boundaries do not. Convergent boundaries that involve at least one oceanic plate form subduction zones, where an oceanic plate plunges into the mantle. Volatiles carried into the mantle lower the melting point of the rock there, allowing magma to form.At divergent boundaries the crust becomes thinner. This reduces pressure on the upper mantle, thus lowering melting points and generating magma.Transform boundaries have no such means of producing magma.

Would you expect to see a folded mountain range at an ocean ridge?
No. A mid-ocean ridges is a divergent boundary. You find folded mountain at convergent plate boundaries.
What type of plate boundary would you find where the sea floor spreads?
Seafloor spreading occurs at divergent plate boundaries under the ocean.
What landforms do you find in a divergent plate boundary?
Ocean ridges
Where are divergent boundaries found in the world?
I think you mean a divergent boundary. A divergent boundary is where two plates are moving away from each other. They are mostly found at oceanic spreading centers. The most well known one would be the Mid-Atlantic Ridge located in the center of the Atlantic Ocean.
Would you except to find plate boundaries here in Canada?
Yes, There are plate boundaries all over the world.

What type of plate boundary would you find a fault line?
Normal faults are mostly on Divergent plate boundaries. where two lithospheric plates move away from eachother. means that tensile forces there that act in opposite direction. Mian Amir Javed Pakistan Shani1_pak@hotmail.com
Can gold be found at a divergent plate boundary?
Usually when plates move away from each other it is called a divergent plate boundary and it usually forms a mid-ocean ridge or just and ocean. Just because plates diverge doesn't necassarily mean that you will find gold, but depending on locattion and the elements it might be possible. It is not definite though.
What types of plate boundaries can you find igneous rock?
divirgent
