What else can I help you with?
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.
Do divergent plate boundaries only occur on the ocean floor?
No, divergent plate boundaries can occur both on the ocean floor and on land. When they occur on the ocean floor, they create mid-ocean ridges, while on land they can create rift valleys.
What kind of plate boundaries create volcanoes?
Volcanoes primarily form at convergent and divergent plate boundaries. At convergent boundaries, one tectonic plate subducts beneath another, leading to melting of the mantle and the formation of magma, which can rise to create volcanoes. At divergent boundaries, tectonic plates pull apart, allowing magma to rise from the mantle to the surface, resulting in volcanic activity. Additionally, hotspots, which are not directly related to plate boundaries, can also create volcanoes, as seen with the Hawaiian Islands.
What boundary creates a crust?
The Divergent Boundaries.
What type of plate boundary causes volcanic eruptions?
There are two plate boundaries that cause volcanoes. They are the divergent and convergent plate boundaries.
What are plate boundaries that move away form each other?
divergent
What causes different kinds of volcanic mountains?
it can be caused by many things, such as hot spots, convergent plate boundaries, and divergent plate boundaries
At what type of plate boundary is new ocean crust formed?
Older material
What are three types of plate bounderys?
the three types of plate boundaries are : -convergent plate boundaries -divergent plate boundaries -transformed plate boundaries

What types of boundaries are there?
There are divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
Divergent plate boundaries are characterized by what?
Rifts.
What is happening when divergent plate boundaries create a large crack under water?
it is a tsunami or an under water volcano
