Question

Which features are associated with divergent boundaries?

Answer 1

Ocean mountain chains

Answer 2

Features that are typical for the divergent plate boundaries are:

- ocean ridges;

Underwater mountain chains that are very long and are marking the border of the plates.

- formation of new crust;

Since the crust is very weakened and loose, the high temperature, pressure, and magma, are able to penetrate it and create new crust.

- intense volcanic activity;

The high amount of magma penetrating from the mantle layer is causing intense volcanic activity, thus the creating on new crust, and underwater mountain chains.
