What else can I help you with?
What is the force that stretches or pulls apart the crust of the earth?
Tension stretches or pulls apart the crust.
Why are the continents and the ocean floors moving?
Contienental drift, which is when under the surface magma spreads apart and streches the crust apart.
What is the stress force that pulls on the crust where two plates are moving apart?
it may be gravity
The stress force that pulls on the crust where two plates are moving apart is called .?
tension
What is stress that pulls on the rocks of the crust called?
Stress that acts to pull materials (including rocks of the crust) apart is known as tensile stress.
What causes volcano to form at a diverging plate boundary?
When a huge piece of crust diverges (pulls apart), the crust becomes fractured and magma spills out on the surface.
What cause volcanoes to form at divergent plate boundaries?
When a huge piece of crust diverges (pulls apart), the crust becomes fractured and magma spills out on the surface.
What is the force that pulls apart the crust called?
The force that pulls apart the crust is called tensional or extensional tectonic stress, which occurs at divergent plate boundaries where tectonic plates move away from each other. This pulling force can lead to the formation of rift valleys and mid-ocean ridges.
What is stress that pulls on crust?
the type of stress that pulls the crust is called TENSION.
What is the force that stretches or pull apart the crust called?
When there is a divergent boundary, regardless if the plates are ocean-ocean or continental-continental, tensional stress pulls on the crust. Rocks have weaker tensional strength than compressive strength, so they are easier to pull apart.
What is stress that pulls on crust called?
the type of stress that pulls the crust is called TENSION.
What is the force that pulls rock apart?
Tensile stress.
