What is another name for the divergent boundary in the Atlantic Ocean?
destructive plate 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.
What boundary is it called when new crust is being formed?
Divergent Boundary, (Constructive Boundary).
What boundary makes mid-atlantic ridge?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is formed where the Eurasian Plate and the North American Plate are diverging, creating a boundary known as a divergent plate boundary. As the plates move apart, magma rises from the mantle to fill the gap, creating new oceanic crust.
North Atlantic Ocean is a volcanic island formed over a hot spot on a divergent plate boundary?
Actually, the North Atlantic Ocean is not a volcanic island but rather a basin created by the separation of the North American and Eurasian plates. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge runs along the center of the ocean, where new oceanic crust is formed by seafloor spreading. Volcanic islands can form further south along the ridge due to hot spots or other geological processes.
When the ridge in the middle of the Atlantic ocean formed along what boundary?
Divergent 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
What type of fault line is the mid-Atlantic ridge?
The mid-Atlantic ridge is a divergent boundary where tectonic plates are moving apart. It is an example of a constructive plate boundary where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity. This process leads to the continuous separation of the North American and Eurasian plates on one side and the South American and African plates on the other side.

Divergent Boundary :D

Where new crust is formed?
New crust is formed at a divergent boundary
When two plates move away from one another we have a?
It creates a divergent boundary.
What plate boundary formed lake Victoria in Africa?
spreading or divergent boundary
