Question

Where do divergent boundaries occur? Check all that apply.

land
oceans
volcanoes
lower mantle
island chains

Answer 1

Answer: Most active divergent plate boundaries occur between oceanic plates and exist as mid-oceanic ridges. Divergent boundaries also form volcanic islands, which occur when the plates move apart to produce gaps that molten lava rises to fill.

Answer 2

The correct answer is volcanoes, and oceans.

Divergent boundary are termed as linear feature which exists in tectonic plates.

They occur in ocean plates and the mid ridges of the ocean. They also occur in volcanoes where molten lava is being produced when plates move apart.

Examples of divergent boundaries include; East pacific rise, Great rift valley, red sea rift, mid-atlantic ridge.
