Question
where is a divergent boundary most likely to be found?
in the ocean where plates move away from each other
on land where plates slip past each other
in the ocean where plates do not move
on land where plates move towards each other
A divergent boundary occurs when tectonic plates move apart. Oceanic divergent boundaries are common, like mid - ocean ridges. Plates slipping past each other are transform boundaries. Plates not moving is incorrect as tectonic plates are in constant motion. Plates moving towards each other are convergent boundaries.
