Where can each boundary type be found on earth?

Divergent boundaries are found along mid-ocean ridges, convergent boundaries are found at subduction zones and mountain ranges, and transform boundaries are found along fault lines like the San Andreas Fault in California.


Is the north American plate divergent transform or convergent?

A plate is not classified as convergent, divergent, or transform, a plate boundary i.e. a boundary between plates is. All three types of plate boundary can be found along the edges of the North American plate.


What crustal features are found at each type of plate boundary?

At a destructive or convergent plate boundary, you will often find volcanoes, though a little way away from the actual boundary. Earthquakes will be common. At a constructive or divergent plate boundary, you will often find either a trench or a small ridge going along the boundary. At a conservative plate boundary, there are very few features to be seen, save for the large crack in the ground. Sometimes there can be some cliff forming at the fault line. Earthquakes are very common. At a collision plate boundary, large fold mountains will be formed.


Is a reverse fault often located along a divergent plate boundary or convergent?

A reverse fault is usually associated with convergent plate boundaries, where two plates are colliding and one is forced upward over the other. It is less common along divergent boundaries, where plates are moving 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.

What is a deep faulted structure found along a divergent boundary?

A rift valley is a deep faulted structure found along a divergent boundary. It forms as tectonic plates move away from each other, creating a depression in the Earth’s crust. Rift valleys are often associated with volcanic activity and can eventually develop into new ocean basins.


Where can divergent divergent boundary be found?

Most divergent boundaries can be found on the ocean floor. divergent boundaries create Rift Valleys An example of this is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge discovered by Harry Hess.


What process found at a divergent boundary will help form a metamorphic?

The process that is found at a divergent boundary that will help form metamorphic rocks is metamorphism. This refers to the change in the composition or structure of a rock by heat and pressure.

Is a composite volcano on a divergent boundary or convergent boundary?

They can be associated with both, but are most often found near convergent boundaries.


What features can be found along convergent boundaries?

Generally (I think probably always), a mountain range develops at a convergent boundary.
