What else can I help you with?
Do volcanoes that form at mid-ocean ridgeoccur at a diverging plate boundary?
A mid ocean ridge is a diverging plate boundary so the simple answer is yes.
Is the South American plate a diverging converging or transform boundary?
Transform
Distinguish between converging and diverging tectonic plates in a table form?
The Earth's crust is broken up into several lithospheric or tectonic plates. These plates are constantly moving atop the Earth's mantle (semi-solid layer of molten rocks). Based upon their motion, tectonic plates are referred to as converging or diverging. Converging tectonic plates move towards each other and form convergent boundary. Diverging tectonic plates move away from each other and form divergent boundary.
Which way does the divergent boundary go?
The diverging plates move away from one another in opposite directions.
What effect does a diverging boundary have on the crust?
A diverging boundary results in the separation of tectonic plates, leading to the creation of new crust through seafloor spreading. Magma rises to fill the gap between the plates, solidifies, and becomes part of the oceanic crust. This process contributes to the continuous renewal and expansion of the Earth's lithosphere.
What does diverging boundaries form?
is a boundary
Do volcanoes that form at mid-ocean ridgeoccur at a diverging plate boundary?
A mid ocean ridge is a diverging plate boundary so the simple answer is yes.
What is an example of a volcano on a diverging plate boundary?
The Bárðarbunga volcano in Iceland (currently erupting) is an example. A diverging plate boundary passes through the island of Iceland.
What else is a diverging plate called?
Accretion plate boundary
Is the South American plate a diverging converging or transform boundary?
Transform
What plate boundary is eldfell on?
Eldfell is located on a divergent plate boundary, specifically along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge on the island of Heimaey in Iceland.
What is the movement of diverging?
A plate boundary where two plates move away from each other.A plate boundary where two plates move away from each other.
What type of plate movement occurs when two oceanic plates pull apart?
Diverging Plate Boundary

The diverging plates move away from one another in opposite directions.
How are transform boundaries different from converging and diverging boundaries?
a boundary at which two plates moves past each other horizontally
