What else can I help you with?
What is another name for the divergent boundary in the Atlantic Ocean?
destructive plate boundary
What type of boundary is along ocean ridges?
Constructive or divergent. The ridge formed is of basaltic rock type (though this is a generalisation), and is a source of volcanic activity. Iceland was formed as a result of the sea-floor spreading.
What boundary is it called when new crust is being formed?
Divergent Boundary, (Constructive Boundary).
What boundary makes mid-atlantic ridge?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is formed where the Eurasian Plate and the North American Plate are diverging, creating a boundary known as a divergent plate boundary. As the plates move apart, magma rises from the mantle to fill the gap, creating new oceanic crust.
What is in the north Atlantic Ocean is a volcanic island formed over a hot spot on a divergent plate boundary?
The island you are referring to is Iceland, located in the North Atlantic Ocean. It was formed over a hot spot on a divergent plate boundary where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates are moving apart, creating volcanic activity that built up the island over time. Iceland is known for its geothermal energy, geysers, and volcanic landscapes.
When the ridge in the middle of the Atlantic ocean formed along what boundary?
Divergent boundary
What is another name for the divergent boundary in the Atlantic Ocean?
destructive plate boundary
What type of boundary is formed when plate separate?
Divergent boundary is formed
What type of fault line is the mid-Atlantic ridge?
The mid-Atlantic ridge is a divergent boundary where tectonic plates are moving apart. It is an example of a constructive plate boundary where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity. This process leads to the continuous separation of the North American and Eurasian plates on one side and the South American and African plates on the other side.

What is the type of boundary formed when plates separate?
Divergent Boundary :D
Where new crust is formed?
New crust is formed at a divergent boundary
When two plates move away from one another we have a?
divergent boundary where new crust is formed.
What plate boundary formed lake Victoria in Africa?
spreading or divergent boundary
