Notice that at the divergent boundary, the crust is experiencing tensional stress, which is causing a normal fault that results in seismic activity, and that the volcanic activity is caused by upwelling of mafic lavas from the mantle. On the other hand, convergent boundaries are the result of compression stresses leading to plate collisions, which create numerous thrust and reverse faults that are responsible for seismic activity. Volcanic activity at convergent boundaries is created by andesitic lavas produced by the partial melting of a subducting plate. Which features and characteristics associated with divergent boundaries and which not, will you determine?
