What else can I help you with?
Where do shallow earthquakes occur?
At divergent and transform boundaries.
Where are rift boundaries formed at and what happens at them?
A rift boundary is a divergent boundary, where two plates of the earth's crust are moving away from each other. Divergent boundaries occur at mid-oceanic ridges on the sea floor, but usually the term rift is used to describe divergent boundaries on the land. The best known one is in eastern Africa.
Volcanoes usually occur along what plate boundaries?
transform and divergent
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.
Where do volcanoes occur around divergent plate boundaries?
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.
What happens when divergent boundaries occur in the middle of the ocean?
A ridge with transverse faults is formed, where new oceanic crust (seafloor) is formed.
Do trenches occur at divergent boundaries?
that is false
What can occur at divergent plate boundaries?
plant boundaries move together
Where do shallow earthquakes occur?
At divergent and transform boundaries.
Do Trenches occur at divergent plate boundaries.?
that is false
Where do most divergent boundaries occur?
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.
Do Divergent boundaries only occur on the ocean floor?
No. They can also occur on continents.
Where do most divergent plate boundaries occur?
Ocean ridges
Do divergent boundaries have earthquakes?
Earthquakes can, and do, occur at divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
Where are rift boundaries formed at and what happens at them?
A rift boundary is a divergent boundary, where two plates of the earth's crust are moving away from each other. Divergent boundaries occur at mid-oceanic ridges on the sea floor, but usually the term rift is used to describe divergent boundaries on the land. The best known one is in eastern Africa.
What landforms are formed at diverging boundaries?
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.
Are all divergent boundaries located at mid ocean ridges?
No. Divergent boundaries can occur on continents. The most notable example of this is the East African Rift.
