No. They can also occur on continents.
Sea floor spreading
No. Sea floor trenches are found at convergent boundaries. divergen boundaries form mid-ocean ridges.
Volcanoes at divergent plate boundaries often occur along mid-ocean ridges, where tectonic plates are moving apart. As the plates separate, magma rises to the surface, creating underwater volcanic activity. These volcanic eruptions contribute to the formation of new oceanic crust.
Divergent boundaries form ocean ridges.
A ridge with transverse faults is formed, where new oceanic crust (seafloor) is formed.
No. They can also occur on continents.
Sea floor spreading
Ocean ridges
divergent boundaries mostly occur when 2 tectonic plates move apart from each other and this is due to the currents movement. On earth, the form drift vallies and fault. Example can be san andreas fault on western side of united state of america.
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.
divergent
No. Divergent boundaries can occur on continents. The most notable example of this is the East African Rift.
The mid-ocean ridge is almost in all of the oceans
The youngest rocks on the ocean floor are located at mid-ocean ridges. These ridges are always found at divergent boundaries.
No. Sea floor trenches are found at convergent boundaries. divergen boundaries form mid-ocean ridges.
A mid-ocean ridge forms along divergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates are moving apart. These boundaries occur where magma rises to the surface, creating new oceanic crust and extending the ocean floor.
In plate tectonics, divergent boundaries occur when plates pull apart. On land, divergent boundaries form rifts or valleys. More commonly, divergent boundaries in the ocean occur and cause mid-oceanic ridges. Divergent boundaries can also form volcanoes when the plates separate enough to allow molten lava to seep out, harden, and eventually form islands.
