What is a deep faulted structure found along a divergent boundary?

A rift valley is a deep faulted structure found along a divergent boundary. It forms as tectonic plates move away from each other, creating a depression in the Earth’s crust. Rift valleys are often associated with volcanic activity and can eventually develop into new ocean basins.


What are divert boundaries?

Divergent boundaries are tectonic plate boundaries where two plates move away from each other. This movement results in the upwelling of magma from the mantle, creating new crust. Divergent boundaries are typically found along mid-ocean ridges.
