Study Notes
Divergent Boundaries
- Oceanic to oceanic divergent boundaries form when two oceanic plates move away from each other.
- Continental to continental divergent boundaries are the most common type of divergent boundary.
- Continental to oceanic divergent boundaries result in the formation of mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust is created as magma rises to fill the gap between the plates.
Test your knowledge of divergent boundaries with this quiz! Explore the different types, including oceanic to oceanic and continental to continental, and learn about the geological processes that occur at these dynamic plate boundaries.
