Question

Which feature is most likely found at a divergent boundary?

Answer 1

Fault-block mountain

I know because I just took the quiz, and it said the correct answer at the end.

Answer 2

Answer:

Fault-block mountain

In geography, fault-block mountains arise when the Earth's crust pulls apart and divides. Some parts of the Earth are pushed upwards whereas the other moves downward forming a divergent boundary. In geological studies, a divergent boundary can be described as a linear feature which arises due to plate tectonics which are being pulled apart from each other. Hence, fault-block mountains are most likely to be seen in a divergent boundary.

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.
