At a divergent boundary, tectonic plates move apart, causing magma from the mantle to rise and solidify, forming new crust. This process often results in the creation of mid-ocean ridges, where underwater volcanoes and rift valleys develop. As the plates continue to separate, it can also lead to the formation of new ocean basins. Overall, uplift at divergent boundaries plays a crucial role in the ongoing process of seafloor spreading.
What else can I help you with?
What boundary is it called when new crust is being formed?
Divergent Boundary, (Constructive Boundary).
What type of boundary is along ocean ridges?
Constructive or divergent. The ridge formed is of basaltic rock type (though this is a generalisation), and is a source of volcanic activity. Iceland was formed as a result of the sea-floor spreading.
Is a new oceanic crust formed at a transform fault boundary?
No. New oceanic crust is formed at a divergent boundary. A convergent boundary neither creates nor destroys crust.
What boundary is it when a volcano formed?
Volcanoes can form at convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, and at hot spots away from any plate boundary.
What is another name for the divergent boundary in the Atlantic Ocean?
destructive plate boundary
What type of boundary is formed when plate separate?
Divergent boundary is formed

It creates a divergent boundary.
Where new crust is formed?
New crust is formed at a divergent boundary
What plate boundary formed lake Victoria in Africa?
spreading or divergent boundary
When the ridge in the middle of the Atlantic ocean formed along what boundary?
Divergent boundary
What type boundary is formed when plates separate?
A divergent plate boundary (ridge)
What is formed when tectonic plates separate?
a divergent boundary
What type of boundary is along ocean ridges?
Constructive or divergent. The ridge formed is of basaltic rock type (though this is a generalisation), and is a source of volcanic activity. Iceland was formed as a result of the sea-floor spreading.
Is the Alps a divergent boundary?
No, the Alps are not a divergent boundary. The Alps are a mountain range formed from the collision of the African and Eurasian tectonic plates, a result of convergent boundary activity.
What type of fault is formed when pates are pushed together?
A divergent boundary.
