What kind of metamorphism might take place at a divergent boundary?

When a divergent boundary occurs beneath oceanic lithosphere, the rising convection current below lifts the lithosphere producing a mid-ocean ridge!!!Hope i helped

What is the setting of the book Divergent by Veronica Roth?
Divergent by Veronica Roth takes place in the same place as The Walking Dead jk
What is the original rock called before metamorphism takes place?
It is called the 'protolith' or 'parent rock'.
What is diagenesis?
•Geochemical, physical, and mineralogic (textural) changes that take place after burial of sediment -Not weathering -Not metamorphism/metasomatism
When did Divergent come out in the movie theaters?
The movie Divergent was released in theaters on March 21, 2014. The second movie in the theories, Insurgent, will be released on May 22, 2015. The final two movies have tentative release dates. Allegiant: Part 1 is scheduled to be released on March 18, 2016, and Allegiant: Part 2 is scheduled to be released on March 27, 2017.
Does hasting a place in New zealand have greenstone?
The formation of greenstone (Pounamu) requires some degree of metamorphism, and I do not believe the rocks of the Hastings area are a suitable host.
What boundary the tectonics theory sea floor spreading takes place?
divergent boundary
What is the place where earth's plates move apart?
divergent boundary
The red sea is theorized to be the site of a recently formed?
The Red Sea is theorized to be the site of a recently formed divergent boundary. A divergent boundary is a place where plates are coming apart.
What is it called when 2 plates move away from each other?
mid - ocean ridges, they're caused by divergent boundaries Rifts are also on land, such as the Great Rift Valley in Africa mid - ocean ridges, they're caused by divergent boundaries Rifts are also on land, such as the Great Rift Valley in Africa mid - ocean ridges, they're caused by divergent boundaries Rifts are also on land, such as the Great Rift Valley in Africa
What boundary is it where two plates push together?
An area where two tectonic plates collide is called a boundary. There are three kinds of boundaries. They are convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries.
What are the examples of divergent boundary?
Examples of a divergent boundary would be a mid-ocean ridge. Two plates are pulling apart from each other. If you have heard before, the magma from the asthenosphere find a way to get out through the crack of the diverging plates and makes new land. Another type of devergent boundary would be a fissure. It is a long linear crack made by the plates moving apart. I think maybe another one would probably be a volcano, but I am not sure.
High grade metamorphism?
The high grade metamorphism refers to the metamorphism that takes place at temperatures that are greater than 320 degree Celsius. The high grade metamorphism also takes place at relatively high pressure.
Where does regional metamorphism occur?
Regional metamorphism takes place in large areas around plate boundaries.
When two ocean plates pull apart it is called what?
When to plates pull apart on the ocean floor it's called "Tectonic Plate Drift or, "Contenetial Drift." This allows countries to move centimeters every year in any direction the plate travel. Sometimes the plates rub and can cause earthquakes ,volcanos or tsunamis.
What is volcano divergence?
A divergent plate movement occurs when two plates move away from each other. Magma from the mantle underneath the crust to rise up the surface to cool and solidify at the plate boundary. This divergent boundary is considered constructive since new crust is formed. Divergent takes place at the boundary of the oceanic plates and forms new sea floor. This process is called sea-floor spreading. As magma rises up to the surface, it piles up and solidifies, slowly forming a long chain of mountains on the ocean floor, called an oceanic ridge.
Where does dynamic metamorphism take place?
a volcano ?
Where does metamorphism take place?
Most metamorphism takes place deep underground, where high heat and pressure change the rocks, since both increase with depth.
