The process of upwelling magma is found a divergent boundaries.

As this magma nears the surface it decompresses, and some of it flows onto the surface of the Earth as lava. Magma that solidifies beneath the surface of the Earth hardens into gabbro while lava on the surface of the Earth hardens into basalt. Both of these are igneous rocks. Metamorphic rocks are formed from the heat flowing from the igneous rocks. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the sediments collecting in the basins created from rifting (that is, the divergent boundaries). Metamorphic and sedimentary rocks are not considered to be formed at divergent boundaries.

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.


What process found at a divergent boundary will help form a metamorphic?

The process that is found at a divergent boundary that will help form metamorphic rocks is metamorphism. This refers to the change in the composition or structure of a rock by heat and pressure.

Which fault would be found on divergent boundary?

A normal fault is typically found on a divergent boundary. This type of fault occurs as the Earth's crust is being pulled apart, causing one side to move downward relative to the other.


What is the difference in a trench and a ridge?

Trenches are formed by divergent plates, Whereas Ridges are formed by plate in collision.


What type of boundary is found in Iceland?

Iceland is located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which is a divergent plate boundary. This means that the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are moving apart, causing volcanic activity and creating new crust in Iceland.


Mid-Ocean ridges are found where?

They are found at a plate boundary. When two plates move apart (divergent) magma rises through the gap.
