Which of the following is not formed at a divergent boundary?
A
Earthquake
B
Mid-ocean Ridge
C
Volcanic Mountains
D
Rift
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -2. Which among the following is NOT formed along divergent plate boundary? Ridge . Divergent plate boundaries are associated with ridges, which are created as the plates move away from each other.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: At divergent tectonic plate boundaries, the geologic event that is not likely to happen is the formation of large mountains.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most divergent plate boundaries are underwater and form submarine mountain ranges called oceanic spreading ridges. While the process of forming these mountain ranges is volcanic, volcanoes and earthquakes along oceanic spreading ridges are not as violent as they are at convergent plate boundaries.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The features most commonly associated with divergent boundaries between tectonic plates are rift valleys, ocean ridges, fissure volcanoes, and underwater mountain chains.

Detailed explanation-5: -Rift volcanoes form when magma rises into the gap between diverging plates.
