What type of plate boundary would you find where the sea floor spreads?
Seafloor spreading occurs at divergent plate boundaries under the ocean.
Where would two plate move apart at the mid ocean ridges?
At a divergent plate boundary.
What plate boundary is a composite volcano on?
Composite volcanoes most often are found near subduction zones. They can be found at either oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundaries, oceanic-continental plate boundaries, or continental-continental plate boundaries. They are especially prevalent in the Pacific Ring of Fire. A few composite volcanoes, however, have been found at divergent boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.
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 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.
At what type of plate boundary is new ocean crust formed?
Older material
In which location would an ocean ridge?
The mid-ocean ridge is almost in all of the oceans
What are plate boundaries that move away form each other?
divergent
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.
Where would two plate move apart at the mid ocean ridges?
At a divergent plate boundary.
What type of plate boundary would you find where the sea floor spreads?
Seafloor spreading occurs at divergent plate boundaries under the ocean.
What is the direction of movement from a divergent boundary?
the direction divergent boundaries move from is away from each other.
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.

Composite volcanoes most often are found near subduction zones. They can be found at either oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundaries, oceanic-continental plate boundaries, or continental-continental plate boundaries. They are especially prevalent in the Pacific Ring of Fire. A few composite volcanoes, however, have been found at divergent boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.

What are the examples of divergent boundary?
Examples of a divergent boundary would be a mid-ocean ridge. Two plates are pulling apart from each other. If you have heard before, the magma from the asthenosphere find a way to get out through the crack of the diverging plates and makes new land. Another type of devergent boundary would be a fissure. It is a long linear crack made by the plates moving apart. I think maybe another one would probably be a volcano, but I am not sure.
What type of boundary is new ocean crust crust formed?
This would be called a Spreading center, or a divergent plate boundary.
