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.
Which type of volcano formation would typically be found under a convergent boundary?
A stratovolcano, also known as a composite volcano, is typically found under a convergent boundary. These volcanoes are characterized by their steep sides and explosive eruptions due to the interaction of the subducted oceanic plate and the overlying continental plate.
What type of volcano formation would typically be found under a convergent boundary?
A stratovolcano or composite volcano would typically be found under a convergent boundary. These volcanoes form from the intense pressure and heat generated by the subduction of one tectonic plate beneath another, leading to explosive eruptions due to the high gas content of the magma.
Which fault would be found on divergent boundary?
A normal fault is typically found on a divergent boundary. This type of fault occurs as the Earth's crust is being pulled apart, causing one side to move downward relative to the other.
When 2 tectonic plates separate and move away from each other they form?
When two tectonic plates separate and move away from each other, they form a divergent boundary. This boundary is characterized by the creation of new crust as magma rises to fill the gap created by the moving plates.
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 landform are formed at a divergent boundary?
landforms associated with divergent boundaries are known as island arc orogeny and they lead to formation of islands and volcanoes along with trenches. example would be Japanese island, aleutian island etc.
Are the two plates along the coast of South America probably a divergent boundary or a convergent boundary?
It is a convergent boundary The subduction of the pacific plate underneath the west coast of South America creates the uplift and volcanoes that is still producing the Andean mountain range. A divergent boundary would create a mid-ocean ridge, or somthing akin to the great rift valley in Africa.
What types of valcanoes would be the most explosive?
Volcanoes with more viscosity are more explosive.

Which kind of volcano would be the least explosive?
Extinct volcanoes.
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.
At what type of plate boundary is new ocean crust formed?
Older material
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.

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.
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.
