What geological feature is typically found at a divergent boundary between two oceanic plates?

Back

Mid-Ocean Ridge

Front

What is a transform boundary?

Back

Front

What crustal feature is associated with a divergent boundary?

Back

Front

What happens at a convergent boundary between an oceanic plate and a continental plate?

Back
