Rifting and normal faulting are characteristic of what type of plate boundary?
convergent boundaries
The formation of The East African Rift Valley is associated with what kind of boundary?
The East African Rift is a divergent plate boundary. It is a divergent plate boundary because the land is being split apart. The East African Rift is the initial stage in the break up of a continent. If the rifting continues, a linear sea will develop. If rifting continues a full fledged ocean will develop.
Do convergent plate boundaries involve the process of rifting?
No. Rifting is associated with divergent boundaries.
What type of plate boundary causes a trench to form?
Diverging Plate Boundaries
What is the relation between rising and sinking material in the earths interior and subduction and rifting?
Rising materials causes rifting; sinking material causes subduction.
What type of plate boundary results in the rifting of the lithosphere?
A divergent plate boundary.
Rifting and normal faulting are characteristic of what type of plate boundary?
convergent boundaries
What plate boundary causes seismic waves?
Destructive plate boundary.

Ol Doinyo Lengai on a hot spot?
No. Ol Doinyo Lengai is associate with an area of rifting in Africa, which is a developing divergent plate boundary.
What tectonic plate boundary causes mid-ocean ridges?
Divergent Plate Boundary.
What type of plate boundry causes shearing?
The type of boundary that causes shearing is transform boundary.
What type of plate of plate boundary causes mountains?
Convergent Boundaries.
Do convergent plate boundaries involve the process of rifting?
No. Rifting is associated with divergent boundaries.
What causes to form at a convergent plate boundary?
the mid ocean ridges cause the magma to form at a convergent plate boundary.
Which fault occurs at divergent boundary?
Normal Faults, (Rifting).
What causes Magma to form a convergent plate boundary?
the mid ocean ridges cause the magma to form at a convergent plate boundary.
