divergent boundaries mostly occur when 2 tectonic plates move apart from each other and this is due to the currents movement. On earth, the form drift vallies and fault. Example can be san andreas fault on western side of united state of america.

An example of this is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge discovered by Harry Hess.

Where do shallow-focus earthquakes occur?
At divergent and transform boundaries.
Does divergent motion create reverse faults?
No. They occur at convergent boundaries.
Which type of boundary do mid-ocean ridges occur?
divergent
The mid-ocean ridge occur along transform boundaries?
Mid ocean ridges occure at divergent boundaries.
What is a crustal boundary?
There are 3 types convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries. Convergent collide, divergent move away, and transform boundaries occur when two boundaries pass each other horizontally. The process of subduction is associated with convergent boundaries and tectonic plates play a huge role in these types of boundaries.
Where do volcanoes occur around divergent plate boundaries?
yes they do occur along divergent boundaries
Where do most divergent plate boundaries occur?
Ocean ridges
Where do most present day faults occur?
Most present-day faults occur along boundaries. The three types of geologic boundaries are transform boundaries, divergent boundaries and convergent boundaries.
Are all divergent boundaries located at mid ocean ridges?
No. Divergent boundaries can occur on continents. The most notable example of this is the East African Rift.
Is subduction common at divergent plate boundaries?
Subduction doesnt occur at divergent boundaries, but rather they are found at convergent boundaries.
Do trenches occur at divergent boundaries?
that is false
What can occur at divergent plate boundaries?
plant boundaries move together
Do Trenches occur at divergent plate boundaries.?
that is false
Where do shallow earthquakes occur?
At divergent and transform boundaries.
Do a tsunamis occur during a divergent boundary?
Yes, divergent boundaries create tsunamies.
Do Divergent boundaries only occur on the ocean floor?
No. They can also occur on continents.
Do divergent boundaries have earthquakes?
Earthquakes can, and do, occur at divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
