What type of plate boundary is the mid Atlantic ocean?

The Mid-Atlantic Ocean is a divergent plate boundary, where tectonic plates are moving away from each other. This movement creates new oceanic crust as magma rises from the mantle and solidifies at the mid-ocean ridge.


What are the examples of divergent boundary?

Examples of a divergent boundary would be a mid-ocean ridge. Two plates are pulling apart from each other. If you have heard before, the magma from the asthenosphere find a way to get out through the crack of the diverging plates and makes new land. Another type of devergent boundary would be a fissure. It is a long linear crack made by the plates moving apart. I think maybe another one would probably be a volcano, but I am not sure.

What plate boundary separates the North American plate from the African plate?

Which ocean would you find divergent plate boundaries?

You would find divergent plate boundaries in the Atlantic Ocean, specifically along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. This is where tectonic plates are moving apart, leading to the formation of new oceanic crust.


Is the Atlantic Ocean the site of a spreading plate boundary?
