At Which boundaries would you find volcanoes?

Volcanoes are primarily found at tectonic plate boundaries, specifically at divergent and convergent boundaries. At divergent boundaries, such as mid-ocean ridges, magma rises to create new crust. At convergent boundaries, one plate is forced under another, leading to melting and the formation of magma that can result in volcanic activity. Additionally, hotspots, which are areas where plumes of hot mantle material rise, can also produce volcanoes, independent of tectonic plate boundaries.


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 plate boundary is a composite volcano on?

Composite volcanoes most often are found near subduction zones. They can be found at either oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundaries, oceanic-continental plate boundaries, or continental-continental plate boundaries. They are especially prevalent in the Pacific Ring of Fire. A few composite volcanoes, however, have been found at divergent boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.


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.


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.

Would you see the mantle at a plate boundary?

Yes, the mantle can be seen at a plate boundary where tectonic plates interact, such as at divergent or convergent boundaries.


What is the direction of movement from a divergent boundary?

the direction divergent boundaries move from is away from each other.


Does a rift valley forms along a convergent boundary on land?

No, rift valleys form along divergent boundaries, where tectonic plates move away from each other. Convergent boundaries are where plates collide, leading to the formation of features like mountains and deep ocean trenches.


Where are divergent boundaries found in the world?

I think you mean a divergent boundary. A divergent boundary is where two plates are moving away from each other. They are mostly found at oceanic spreading centers. The most well known one would be the Mid-Atlantic Ridge located in the center of the Atlantic Ocean.


Would you expect to see a folded mountain range at a mid-ocean ridge?

No, folded mountain ranges are typically associated with convergent plate boundaries where tectonic plates collide and undergo compression. Mid-ocean ridges are found at divergent plate boundaries where plates move apart, leading to the formation of new oceanic crust through volcanic activity.


What type of plate boundary would have less silica content?

A divergent plate boundary would have less silica content compared to a convergent plate boundary. Divergent boundaries involve the separation of tectonic plates, with new oceanic crust forming from magma that is relatively low in silica content. In contrast, convergent boundaries involve the collision of tectonic plates, resulting in the melting of crust with higher silica content, leading to more explosive volcanic activity.


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.
