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.
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.
Where is the nearest plate boundary?
The nearest plate boundary can vary depending on your specific location. For example, if you are in the western United States, the nearest boundary is the San Andreas Fault, which is a transform boundary between the Pacific and North American Plates. If you're in the eastern U.S., the nearest major boundary would be the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, an underwater divergent boundary. To determine the precise nearest plate boundary, a specific location is needed.
What kind of fault would you expect to find at a divergent plate margin?
Divergent plate boundaries are moving apart so you would expect normal faults to form. Where these have significance on a regional scale they are known as detachment faults. It is also common to find transform faults running at right angles to divergent boundaries that cause offsets in the boundary along its length. Please see the related links for more information.
When a hotspot rises and cracks the surface is it a convergent divergent or transform boundary?
When a hotspot rises and cracks the surface, it is typically associated with a divergent boundary. At divergent boundaries, tectonic plates move apart, allowing magma from the mantle to rise up and create new crust.

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.
What type of plate boundary would be found along the coastline near japan's volcanic mountain ranges?
mid-oceanic ridges are near the mountain range at the divergent boundary
Which landform would most likely be found at a convergent subduction boundary?
convergent boundary -rift valley divergent boundary -mid-ocean ridge

A tectonic plate moving westward what geological effects would you expect to see on its northern edge?
1. If a plate moved westward, then in the westward side there would be a convergent boundary resulting in a trench. In the eastern side, there would be a divergent plate boundary resulting in a ridge. In the northern and southern side, there would be a transform fault.
What type of boundary is new ocean crust crust formed?
This would be called a Spreading center, or a divergent plate boundary.
Does a rift valley form along a colliding boundary?
No, it would form along a separating (divergent) tectonic plate boundary.

The nearest plate boundary can vary depending on your specific location. For example, if you are in the western United States, the nearest boundary is the San Andreas Fault, which is a transform boundary between the Pacific and North American Plates.

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.
At what type of plate boundary is new ocean crust formed?
Older material
When a hotspot rises and cracks the surface is it a convergent divergent or transform boundary?
When a hotspot rises and cracks the surface, it is typically associated with a divergent boundary. At divergent boundaries, tectonic plates move apart, allowing magma from the mantle to rise up and create new crust.
