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.

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.


Where are most divergent boundaries found?

On the seafloor. Yes, the mid oceanic ridges are all divergent boundaries.


Where are divergent boundarys found?

Divergent boundaries are found primarily along mid-ocean ridges, where tectonic plates are moving away from each other. Additionally, divergent boundaries can also occur on continents, leading to the formation of rift valleys.


Are divergent plate boundaries associated with folded mountains and deep sea trenches?

No. Sea floor trenches are found at convergent boundaries. divergen boundaries form mid-ocean ridges.

Is volcanism found at convergent and divergent boundaries of tectonic plates?

Yes, volcanism is found at both convergent and divergent boundaries of tectonic plates. At convergent boundaries, subduction zones can result in the formation of volcanoes due to the melting of subducted crust. At divergent boundaries, magma rises to the surface to create new crust, leading to volcanic activity as seen in mid-ocean ridges.

Is subduction common at divergent plate boundaries?

No, subduction is not common at divergent plate boundaries. Divergent plate boundaries are characterized by plates moving away from each other, which creates new oceanic crust. Subduction occurs at convergent plate boundaries where plates collide and one descends beneath the other.
