What is a mountain chain at a divergent boundaries called?
mountain chains at divergent boundaries are called
Which type of boundaries is seafloor created by?
Seafloor is created at divergent plate boundaries called the mid-ocean ridges.
What are plates called if they move apart from each other?
Divergent Boundaries
What is it called when 2 plates move away from each other?
mid - ocean ridges, they're caused by divergent boundaries Rifts are also on land, such as the Great Rift Valley in Africa mid - ocean ridges, they're caused by divergent boundaries Rifts are also on land, such as the Great Rift Valley in Africa mid - ocean ridges, they're caused by divergent boundaries Rifts are also on land, such as the Great Rift Valley in Africa
Ocean ridges are formed by what boundaries?
Divergent boundaries form ocean ridges.
What is a mountain chain at a divergent boundaries called?
mountain chains at divergent boundaries are called
What are divergent boundaries also called?
They are called constructive boundaries. New crust is constructed as the plates move apart and magma erupts.
Which type of boundaries is seafloor created by?
Seafloor is created at divergent plate boundaries called the mid-ocean ridges.
What are the volcanic landforms at divergent ocean plate boundaries called?
The volcanic landforms at divergent ocean plate boundaries are oceanic ridges.
How are oceanic ridges form?
divergent boundaries
At what type of plate boundary is new ocean crust formed?
Older material
Where are the 3 major kinds of boundaries?
Convergent boundaries (plates moving toward each other, also called destructive boundaries), divergent boundaries (plates moving away from each other (sometimes called constructive boundaries), fault lines (sideways movement).
What are plates called if they move apart from each other?
Divergent Boundaries
What are plates called that are divergent plate boundaries?
Diverging tectonic plates.
How are convergent boundaries different from divergent boundries?
convergent boundaries collide but divergent boundaries move away from each other.
Ocean ridges are formed by what boundaries?
Divergent boundaries form ocean ridges.
What is it called when 2 plates move away from each other?
mid - ocean ridges, they're caused by divergent boundaries Rifts are also on land, such as the Great Rift Valley in Africa mid - ocean ridges, they're caused by divergent boundaries Rifts are also on land, such as the Great Rift Valley in Africa mid - ocean ridges, they're caused by divergent boundaries Rifts are also on land, such as the Great Rift Valley in Africa
