What does magma rising between separate plates create?
When magma rises between separate plates, it can create new land masses or volcanic islands. This process is known as seafloor spreading, where the magma hardens to form new crust as the plates move apart. It can also result in volcanic activity and the formation of underwater mountain ranges.
Why does magma often form at the boundary between separating tectonic plates?
the tectonic plates move and the lava rises
Is it true when an earthquake occurs when magma travels from the magma chamber through the pipe and out through the vent?
This describes a volcanic eruption. Eruptions can be accompanied by earthquakes, and some earthquakes do occur as a result of the movement of magma. However, most earthquakes, as stated above, result from the movement of tectonic 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.
When two geologic plates are moving away from each other what can result?
Magma that turns into lava. A crack in the ground.
What could rise up through the gaps between the plates?
molten rock or magma
What forms when the lithospheric plates rub against each other?
well in a volcano the lithospheric plates meet when magma moves and moves at the bottom and in the magma chamber the lava[magma] is moving around the lithospheric plates thats what forms them but what forms when they rub against each other is a volcanic eruption
Where is seafloor being created?
The mid-atlantic Ridge. There, two tectonic plates are pulling apart, and magma from the mantle rises to the space between these two plates. This magma is cooled instantly, becoming a new ocean floor.
How do the plates and mantle interact at a convergent plate boundary?
At a convergent plate boundary, where two tectonic plates collide, one plate is forced beneath the other in a process called subduction. The descending plate sinks into the mantle, causing it to melt and create magma. This magma can then rise to the surface, leading to volcanic activity. The interaction between the plates and the mantle at a convergent boundary is dynamic and can result in the formation of mountain ranges, earthquakes, and volcanic arcs.
The gap between plates at divergent boundaries is filled with?
The break itself is bounded by the Constructive Plate Margins. They do not really create a gap because the fracture is continually filled by upwelling magma, but the early stages in the process can create deep rift-valleys or "grabens". The latter is bounded by parallel faults as the land or sea-floorsubsides between them.
How does the earth's plates move on top of the crust?
The Earth's tectonic plates do not move on top of the crust, they are the crust. The crust is made out of plates. The plates float on top of the mantle, which is made of molten rock, called magma. The plates move because of currents in the magma.
Plates of the litosphere float on what?
Magma.
