Divergent plate boundaries occur where tectonic plates move apart, leading to the formation of various geological features. Key locations include mid-ocean ridges, such as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where new oceanic crust is created as magma rises to the surface. Additionally, rift valleys, such as the East African Rift, form on land as the continental crust stretches and thins. These locations are characterized by volcanic activity and earthquakes due to the movement of the tectonic plates.

Was Mount Tambora formed by a convergent plate boundary or a divergent plate boundary?
Mount Tambora was formed by a convergent plate boundary. It is located on the Indonesian island of Sumbawa, where the Australian Plate converges with the Sunda Plate, causing subduction and volcanic activity in the region.
What is the boundary type between pacific plate and the nazca plate?
At the western edge of the Nazca plate and the eastern edge of the Pacific plate lies the East Pacific Rise. The East Pacific Rice is known as a mid-ocean ridge, formed from a divergent boundary.
What type of plate boundary is Hekla the volcano formed?
A diverging is the type of plate boundary that the Hekla volcano formed. Hekla last erupted in 2000. It is located in Iceland. ADDED. Also called a "constructive" plate boundary, because the upwelling magma adds rock to the edges of the two plates.
Is Kilauea on a divergent boundary?
No. Kilauea was formed when the Pacific Plate moved over a hot spot in the Earth's mantle. Magma formed a plume upward into the Earth's crust and formed a volcano: Kilauea. 9 +10 = 21
What type of boundary occurs between the max a plate and the South American plate?
Convergent on the western perimeter, divergent on the Easter perimeter.
What type of boundary is formed when plate separate?
Divergent boundary is formed
At what type of plate boundary is new ocean crust formed?
Older material
Do divergent boundaries make volcanos?
Yes volcanos are formed on convergent and divergent plate boundries but NOT on transform boundries
What plate boundary formed lake Victoria in Africa?
spreading or divergent boundary
What type boundary is formed when plates separate?
A divergent plate boundary (ridge)
If ocean basins are formed from divergent plate boundaries what is replacing the space where the plate once was?
nothing its empty with air
What is the difference between a ocean ridge and trench?
Trenches are formed by divergent plates, Whereas Ridges are formed by plate in collision.
What is a boundary where 2 plates move apart?
It is called a divergent plate boundary.
What kind of landforms are formed at divergent plate boundaries?
Mid Ocean Ridges and Rift Valleys.
What type of plate boundary formed the Fuego Volcano Guatemala?
it was a convergent of divergent because it is a stratovolcano
Where are most of the mountains found that have formed at divergent plate boundaries?
every body knows it's Guam
Was Mount Tambora formed by a convergent plate boundary or a divergent plate boundary?
