What are the plates called of a divergent plate boundary?
tectonic plates. just because they are convergent doesnt change the fact that they are tectonic..
How can countries not on a tectonic plate boundary have an earthquake?
because the tremors spread accross the plates if it is strong enough.
Why does magma aften form at the boundary between separating tectonic plates?
It is because volcanoes form by two tectonic plates which when both collide and they form volcanoes which a magma rock forms when it explodes.
How are volcano mountain related to interaction of plates?
Volcanoes are related to the interaction of tectonic plates because at the site of a volcano, there is a convergent boundary. This is when two tectonic plates come together to create a mountain. Sometimes, the magma underneath the crust pushes upwards, which melts more and more rock from the tectonic plates. This allows volcanoes to begin to form. After there is a fair amount of the inner part of the crust melted away, convection of the magma helps the magma to rise, and thus an eruption happening, and the volcano getting bigger over time.
Can a convergent boundary turn into a divergent boundary?
Yes because divergent boundaries split apart and convergent boundaries make mountains so a mountain can split
Is a hot spot a tectonic plate boundary?
it is a hot spot for the boundary because it represents the volcanic eruption

How did the tectonic plates make Mount Etna explode?
Because it is on a plat boundary :)
What type of tectonic boundary forms a volcano?
Normally a Divergent boundary because as the plates diverge, lava spews out, but they can also form at a Convergent boundary, or, although less likely, a transform boundary.
Why do entire mountain ranges move?
Mountain ranges move because tectonic plates are continuously moving
How can countries not on a tectonic plate boundary have an earthquake?
because the tremors spread accross the plates if it is strong enough.
Tectonic plates move apart in opposite directions at a?
Its is Divergent Boundary, because it is moving Apart from each other. Convergent is moving together. convergent boundary
Is Morroco at risk from earthquakes?
Morocco is at a low risk for earthquakes because it is not in close proximity to a tectonic plate boundary.
Which type of boundary produces earthquakes?
the answer to this question is a transform boundary. At a transform boundary plates slide past one another. Because tectonic plates have irregular edges, they grind and jerk as they slide, which produces earthquakes.
What divergent boundary?
A Divergent boundary is when two tectonic plates pull away from each other. (this can form a volcano because magma will come up through the crack in the earth)
Which type of mountain forms because of a divergent plate boundary?
Fault-block mountains form due to divergent boundary plates.
Why does magma aften form at the boundary between separating tectonic plates?
It is because volcanoes form by two tectonic plates which when both collide and they form volcanoes which a magma rock forms when it explodes.
