Question
which feature is most likely found at a divergent boundary?
fold
plateau
fault - block mountain
anticline or syncline
Fault - block mountains are formed at divergent boundaries. At divergent boundaries, tectonic plates move apart. As they do so, tensional forces cause the crust to break into blocks. These blocks can be uplifted or tilted, creating fault - block mountains. Folds (including anticlines and synclines) are formed at convergent boundaries due to compressional forces. Plateaus are usually formed by large - scale volcanic activity or extensive uplift over a large area and are not specifically associated with divergent boundaries.
