What kind of fault do you think you will find at a spreading ocen ridge?

At a spreading ocean ridge, you are likely to find a divergent boundary fault, known as a mid-ocean ridge fault. This type of fault is created as two tectonic plates move apart, causing magma to rise from the mantle and create new oceanic crust at the ridge.


What kind of metamorphism might take place at a divergent boundary?

When a divergent boundary occurs beneath oceanic lithosphere, the rising convection current below lifts the lithosphere producing a mid-ocean ridge!!!Hope i helped.

When one tectonic plate descends beneath another what kind of boundary is formed?

A convergent boundary is formed when one tectonic plate descends beneath another. This process is known as subduction and typically leads to the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs.


What kind of boundary are mid-ocean ridges and rift valleys?

A rift valley forms at a divergent boundary. When plates diverge, the crust in between them is pulled thin. This tension creates a rift valley, such as the one found between the two islands of New Zealand. Over time, the stretched crust with grow so thin that rising magma will break its surface, forming an underwater ridge.

What kind of boundary is closest to the alps?

The Alps are primarily located along a convergent boundary where the Eurasian Plate collides with the African Plate. This boundary is marked by intense tectonic activity resulting in the uplifting of the mountain range.

It was lava (volcanic magma) from undersea volcanic vents.
