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
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.
When a hotspot rises and cracks the surface is it a convergent divergent or transform boundary?
A hotspot is not a plate boundary, so the answer would be "none of the above".
What type of landscape feature would you find at an oceanic and oceanic plate divergent boundary?
none
Where would two plate move apart at the mid ocean ridges?
At a divergent plate boundary.
Which landform would most likely be found at a convergent subduction boundary?
convergent boundary -rift valley divergent boundary -mid-ocean ridge

What are plate boundaries that move away form each other?
divergent
At what type of plate boundary is new ocean crust formed?
Older material
What type of plate boundary would have less silica content?
divergent boundary

What type of plate boundary would be found along the coastline near japan's volcanic mountain ranges?
mid-oceanic ridges are near the mountain range at the divergent boundary
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.
A tectonic plate moving westward what geological effects would you expect to see on its northern edge?
1. If a plate moved westward, then in the westward side there would be a convergent boundary resulting in a trench. In the eastern side, there would be a divergent plate boundary resulting in a ridge. In the northern and southern side, there would be a transform fault.
Does a rift valley forms along a convergent boundary on land?
No, that would be a divergent plate boundary where a rift valley forms.
Does a rift valley form along a colliding boundary?
No, it would form along a separating (divergent) tectonic plate boundary.
What type of boundary is new ocean crust crust formed?
This would be called a Spreading center, or a divergent plate boundary.
