What type of landscape feature would you find at an oceanic and oceanic plate divergent boundary?

You would find a mid-ocean ridge at an oceanic-oceanic plate divergent boundary. This ridge is formed by the spreading apart of the two plates, allowing magma to rise and create new oceanic crust.


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.


Where do you find two tectonic plates?

Two tectonic plates can be found at divergent boundaries, where they move apart; convergent boundaries, where they come together; and transform boundaries, where they slide past each other. Examples include the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (divergent boundary), the Himalayas (convergent boundary), and the San Andreas Fault (transform boundary).


What type of plate boundary would you find where the sea floor spreads?

A divergent plate boundary is where the sea floor spreads, such as along mid-ocean ridges. At these boundaries, tectonic plates move apart from each other, allowing magma to rise and create new crust.


What are Two famous divergent boundaries?

the most famous divergent fault is the san Andreas faultEDIT: Actually, the San Andreas Fault is a Transform boundary. A Transform Boundary is when two plates are rubbing against each other while going opposite ways. A Divergent Boundary is when two plates move away from each other. Scientists have not pinpointed and named a Divergent Boundary but Divergent Boundaries usually occur under water in the sea, also called Sea Floor Spreading.

What might you find at the mid ocean ridge?

at the mid-ocean ridge you can find the youngest oceanic plate and a divergent boundary.

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 crustal features are found at each type of plate boundary?

At a destructive or convergent plate boundary, you will often find volcanoes, though a little way away from the actual boundary. Earthquakes will be common. At a constructive or divergent plate boundary, you will often find either a trench or a small ridge going along the boundary. At a conservative plate boundary, there are very few features to be seen, save for the large crack in the ground. Sometimes there can be some cliff forming at the fault line. Earthquakes are very common. At a collision plate boundary, large fold mountains will be formed.

What type of plate boundary would you find a fault line?

You would find a fault line at a transform plate boundary, where tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. This movement can cause earthquakes due to the buildup and release of stress along the fault line.


Can gold be found at a divergent plate boundary?

Usually when plates move away from each other it is called a divergent plate boundary and it usually forms a mid-ocean ridge or just and ocean. Just because plates diverge doesn't necassarily mean that you will find gold, but depending on locattion and the elements it might be possible. It is not definite though.


Along which type of plate boundary would you find ridge push?

Ridge push is typically found at divergent plate boundaries where tectonic plates are moving away from each other, such as at mid-ocean ridges. As new crust forms at the ridge, it pushes the plates on either side of the boundary in opposite directions.


Is Mount Pelee on a convergent or divergent plate?

Mount Pelee is located on a convergent plate boundary. The volcano is part of the Lesser Antilles volcanic arc, which is formed by the subduction of the North American Plate beneath the Caribbean Plate.
