Question

When divergent boundary occurs on land it forms a______?

Answer 1

A rift valley is formed when divergent boundary occurs on land.

Given the rising convection current of magma, plates move apart along the divergent plate boundary.

As the plates move apart,the tensional force would cause crack on land,and as time pass, the crack would enlarge to form a rift valley.

One of the example is Rhine rift valley in Germany.

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

Most divergenr boundaries occur along the mid ocean ridges where sea floor spreading occurs. divergent boundaries also occur on land. When a divergent boundary develops on land, two of earth's plates slide apart. A deep valley called a rift valley form along the divergent boundary.
