The volcanism is derived from the melting and expansion of material from the asthenosphere. The divergent boundary represents a line of very thin, hot crustal rock which easily allows the invasion of material which then becomes new crust on both sides of the boundary.

∙ 12y agoA divergent boundy is where two tectonic plates meet and push against each other, then they merge toether for a short time (well several million years for you techies), until a dome volcano is formed, the crater of this volcano heats the ground beneath it much more than say a tall volcano, this then heats the earths core so much, that the day after the next day it happens, a huge tidal wave comes over and hits the boundry with such force that it breaks the boundrys again. This my friend is why you should be aware of divergent boundrys and dome volcanoes.

What kind of plates cause volcanoes?
Plates do not cause volcanoes. Volcanoes generally form at the boundaries between plates. They form at convergent and divergent boundaries.
Is forming underwater mountains and volcanoes convergent divergent or transform?
Underwater volcanoes and mountains can form at both convergent and divergent boundaries.
Can volcanoes form along divergent plate boundaries on land?
yes
How do divergent boundaries form volcanoes?
no yes and symp
What features form at divergent boundaries?
Trenches, mountains, islands, volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis

What is the similarities between convergent divergent and transform boundaries?
they both form volcanoes and earthquakes
Where do volcanoes occur around divergent plate boundaries?
yes they do occur along divergent boundaries
What landforms are formed at diverging boundaries?
In plate tectonics, divergent boundaries occur when plates pull apart. On land, divergent boundaries form rifts or valleys. More commonly, divergent boundaries in the ocean occur and cause mid-oceanic ridges. Divergent boundaries can also form volcanoes when the plates separate enough to allow molten lava to seep out, harden, and eventually form islands.
What boundary is it when a volcano formed?
Volcanoes can form at convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, and at hot spots away from any plate boundary.
How is divergent convergent and transform plate boundaries similar?
They are similar because they both form volcanoes and earthquakes.
What are produced at convergent and divergent boundaries?
Volcanoes and earthquakes
