At a divergent boundary what feature forms when two oceanic plates are involved?
An oceanic trench is formed. Divergent boundaries pull away from each other, forming a cavern in the ocean floor. The Marianas Trench is a good example of a divergent boundary.
What are the three different types of boundary and explain it?
Oceanic - oceanic divergent boundary and Continental - oceanic divergent boundary.
How is the Earth's crust created and destroyed?
It is created at mid-oceanic ridges (divergent boundaries) and it is destroyed at subduction zones (convergent boundary between oceanic crust and continental crust).
What happens at a convergent plate boundary between an oceanic and continental plate?
The oceanic plate usually subsides after colliding with a continental plate.
A divergent boundary within a continent forms what?
A divergent boundary cannot exist "Within" a continent by definition. Divergent boundaries form as two continents move away from each other, forming rift valleys and mid-oceanic ridges.
What is a real example of oceanic to oceanic divergent?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a classic example of an oceanic divergent plate boundary.
What landforms form at a continental and oceanic divergent plate boundary?
The landforms that could develop at a continental and oceanic divergent plate boundary includes; Rifts and Volcanic Mountains.
What are the types of divergent boundaries?
The 3 general types are constructive, destructive, and conservative boundaries. Constructive (divergent) - plates move away from each other, typically creating a rift Destructive (convergent) - one plate will be subducted, or continental plates collide Conservative (transform) - plates grind past each other, stalling and slipping
Where is oceanic crust created?
New oceanic crust is created at the mid-oceanic ridges, a divergent plate boundary.
Does Terrane accretion generally occurs along a divergent boundary between a continental plate and an oceanic plate?
false
What type of landscape feature would you find at an oceanic and oceanic plate divergent boundary?
none

What happens at the boundary between the oceanic and continental plates?
Zombie apocalypse.
Is a new oceanic crust formed at a transform fault boundary?
No. New oceanic crust is formed at a divergent boundary. A convergent boundary neither creates nor destroys crust.
What kind of boundary is located at the mid ocean ridge?
The mid-ocean ridge is formed along a divergent or constructive plate boundary between two plates of oceanic crust.
How does new oceanic crust from at a divergent plate boundary?
Sea-Floor Spreading is your answer.
What are the three different types of boundary and explain it?
Oceanic - oceanic divergent boundary and Continental - oceanic divergent boundary.
