Which fault would be found on divergent boundary?
Normal fault.
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.
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".
Cinder cones are the most potentially dangerous volcanoes because they generate the most explosive eruptions?
No. The most explosive variety of volcanic activity would be the caldera-forming eruptions of stratovolcanoes. Cinder cone eruptions are only mildly explosive.
What type of landscape feature would you find at an oceanic and oceanic plate divergent boundary?
none
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 landform are formed at a divergent boundary?
landforms associated with divergent boundaries are known as island arc orogeny and they lead to formation of islands and volcanoes along with trenches. example would be Japanese island, aleutian island etc.
What type of plate boundary would have less silica content?
divergent boundary
Are the two plates along the coast of South America probably a divergent boundary or a convergent boundary?
It is a convergent boundary The subduction of the pacific plate underneath the west coast of South America creates the uplift and volcanoes that is still producing the Andean mountain range. A divergent boundary would create a mid-ocean ridge, or somthing akin to the great rift valley in Africa.
What types of valcanoes would be the most explosive?
Volcanoes with more viscosity are more explosive.
Which fault would be found on divergent boundary?
Normal fault.

Which kind of volcano would be the least explosive?
Extinct volcanoes.
Which landform would most likely be found at a convergent subduction boundary?
convergent boundary -rift valley divergent boundary -mid-ocean ridge
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.
