A mid-ocean ridge forms at the divergent plate boundary. This boundary initially forms rifts that later on become rift valleys.

How does new mid-ocean ridge form?
a mid-ocean ridje is an undersea mountain chain where new ocean floor is produced;a divergent plate boundary under the ocean.
What are plate boundaries that move away form each other?
divergent
At which plate boundaries do most volcanoes form?
Most volcanoes form at a convergent plate boundary. Simply put when a oceanic plate and a continental plate hit each other face on the subduction of the oceanic plate causes the magma to rise and the converging of the plates makes a mountain and the magma rises through the top creating a volcano.
What type of movement occurs at each plate boundary?
Two plates can either converge, diverge, or transform. A convergent boundary is when two plates come together, a divergent boundary is when they move apart, and a transform boundary is when two plates slide against each other in opposite directions.
The youngest rocks on the ocean floor are located?
The youngest part of the ocean floor is found at conservative plate boundaries where oceanic crust is pulled apart and magma rises from the mantle to form new oceanic crust.
What does a mid ocean ridge form along?
A divergent plate boundary
Do volcanoes that form at mid-ocean ridgeoccur at a diverging plate boundary?
A mid ocean ridge is a diverging plate boundary so the simple answer is yes.
How does new mid-ocean ridge form?
a mid-ocean ridje is an undersea mountain chain where new ocean floor is produced;a divergent plate boundary under the ocean.
What causes to form at a convergent plate boundary?
the mid ocean ridges cause the magma to form at a convergent plate boundary.
What causes Magma to form a convergent plate boundary?
the mid ocean ridges cause the magma to form at a convergent plate boundary.
Volcanoes that form along a mid-ocean ridge occur a diverging plate boundary?
Volcanoes that form along a mid-ocean ridge are called volcanic islands. These volcanoes occur when the plates move apart to produce gaps which molten lava rises to fill.
Where is the plate boundary?
they form around mid-ocean ridges
What plate boundary does a deep ocean trench form on?
spreading
What is the difference between a rift valley and a mid ocean ridge and what kinds of boundaries do they form at?
a rift valleyis a dip in the ocean floor a mid ocean ridge is a mountain chain formed on the ocean floor . Rift valley - divergent boundary MidOcean Ridge Convergent Boundary
Where is the divergent plate boundary?
they form around mid-ocean ridges
What causes magma to form at a convergent boundary?
the mid ocean ridges cause the magma to form at a convergent plate boundary.
What causes magma to form at a convergant plate?
the mid ocean ridges cause the magma to form at a convergent plate boundary.
