Where can a divergent boundary occur?

They occur when the convection currents are less dense and rise.

Can a convergent boundary turn into a divergent boundary?

No, convergent boundaries occur where plates move toward each other and collide or subduct, while divergent boundaries occur where plates move away from each other. It is not possible for a convergent boundary to turn into a divergent boundary because the underlying plate tectonics processes are fundamentally different.


What are the 3 types of convergence?

The three types of convergence are convergent boundary, divergent boundary, and transform boundary. Convergent boundaries occur when tectonic plates collide, divergent boundaries occur when tectonic plates move away from each other, and transform boundaries occur when tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally.


Are earthquakes divergent convergent or transform?

Earthquakes occur at all three types of plate boundary.


How do Plates move where convection currents are rising-?

This tends to occur below a constructive / divergent plate boundary so the plates will move away from each other.


What plate boundary did the volcano eyjafjallajokull occur on?

Eyjafjallajokull volcano is located on the divergent boundary between the North American Plate and the Eurasian Plate in Iceland.


Three type of plate boundaries where volcanic eruptions can occur?

Convergent, divergent, and, although not a plate boundary, they also occur from hotspots.


Is a destructive plate boundary hazardous?

Very much so. This is where volcanoes, earthquakes and even tsunamis can occur.


Which of these does not occur at a convergent boundary?

A divergent boundary does not occur at a convergent boundary. At convergent boundaries, tectonic plates move towards each other and usually result in the formation of mountains, ocean trenches, or volcanic activity. In contrast, divergent boundaries occur when plates move away from each other and create new oceanic crust.
