How do volcanoes along divergent plate boundaries generally differ from those associated with subduction zones at convergent plate boundaries?
gravity anomalies
the rising of land due to a change in mass and density after the removal of materials by erosion
volcanic arc
p-waves
point within Earth where an earthquake originates
shield
Oceanic plates are denser than continental plates.
Volcanoes at divergent boundaries have thin, weak magma that flows easily.
The focus of an earthquake is the
