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 landforms do divergent boundaries make up?
Divergent boundaries create landforms such as rift valleys and mid-ocean ridges. Rift valleys form on continents when land is pulled apart, while mid-ocean ridges develop along the ocean floor as new crust is created.
What kind of land is formed by the plate boundary?
The landforms that are formed at a transform boundary forms features such as fault lines and oceanic fracture zones. Fault lines are also known as strike slip faults. They produce powerful earthquakes.
At what kind of plate boundary do most underwater volcanoes occur?
Most underwater volcanoes occur at divergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates move away from each other, allowing magma to rise up and form new crust. This process creates underwater mountain ranges known as mid-ocean ridges.
What plate boundaries move away from each other?
The kind of plate boundary that moves apart is a Divergent Plate Boundary
Kind of boundary when two plates slide past each other?
A transform boundary. This is where tectonic plates slide horizontally past each other in opposite directions. This movement can cause earthquakes along the boundary.
What kind of landforms are formed at divergent plate boundaries?
Mid Ocean Ridges and Rift Valleys.
What kind of landforms do divergent boundaries make up?
Divergent boundaries create landforms such as rift valleys and mid-ocean ridges. Rift valleys form on continents when land is pulled apart, while mid-ocean ridges develop along the ocean floor as new crust is created.
A dime has what kind of ridges around the edge?
The ridges around the edge of a dime is called reeding or milling. There are 118 ridges.
What kind of boundary is mid ocean boundary?
Its a divergent boundary
What kind of valleys do they have?
big ones.
Andes Mountains are on what kind of boundary?
convergent boundary.
What kind of land is formed by the plate boundary?
The landforms that are formed at a transform boundary forms features such as fault lines and oceanic fracture zones. Fault lines are also known as strike slip faults. They produce powerful earthquakes.
What kind of gum can be chewed with dentures?
The gum that remains after all teeth are extracted are called residual ridges, or simply ridges.
What kind of land is korea?
Mountains, hills and valleys.
What kind of boundary does the line labeled x represent?
An invisible boundary, probably.An invisible boundary, probably.An invisible boundary, probably.An invisible boundary, probably.

What kind of boundary is med oeacn ridge?
It's a divergent plate boundary.
