How do the lithospheric plates move at a divergent margin? 2. Give an example of a present day oceanic divergent margin. 3. What features would you expect to find at an ocean-ocean divergent plate boundary? 4. Give an example of a present-day continental divergent margin. 5. How do the lithospheric plates move at a convergent margin? 6. Give an example of a present-day convergent margin. 7. What features would you expect to find at an ocean-continent convergent plate boundary?
