Convergent faults on divergent boundary are composed of oceanic-continental tectonic plates which can form mountains and volcanoes. This happens when tectonic plates move away from one another creating new oceanic crust through sea-floor and spreading happens when tectonic plates stop moving.

The answer would be:

Can form mountains and volcanoes.

If you'd like to know more about convergent faults read on:

Convergent faults or convergent plate boundaries are areas where two tectonic plates move towards each other.

Mountains form when two continental plates collide.

Volcanoes form when an oceanic plate and a continental plate collide and the oceanic plate slides under the continental plate.
