What boundary forms when tectonic plates pull apart?
The movement of tectonic plates in opposite directions is referred to as a divergent boundary.
When the continental plates pull apart at the divergent boundary on land what forms?
Rift valley
When continental plates pull apart at a divergent boundary on land this land form is created?
It forms a rift valley.
Which boundary do two plates pull apart?
Divergent plate boundary
Do tectonic plates have only one type of boundary?
No. There are three main types of boundary: convergent boundaries where plates push into each other, divergent boundaries where plates pull apart, and transform boundaries where plates slide past each other.

Where does a riftvalley form at?
It forms at a plate boundary. It deepens as the plates pull apart.

Rift valley
What type of volcano forms where plates pull apart?
Rift Volcano forms when plates pull apart.

Divergent plate boundary
What will eventually happen if a rift valley continues to pull apart?
A Diverged Boundary Forms :)
What type of plate movement occurs when two oceanic plates pull apart?
Diverging Plate Boundary
What type of boundry forms when two plates pull apart?
Divergant plate boundries

No. There are three main types of boundary: convergent boundaries where plates push into each other, divergent boundaries where plates pull apart, and transform boundaries where plates slide past each other.
What type of boundary forms when two plates pull apart?
When the two plates are pulled apart it forms a Constructive Plate Boundary. When it is pulled apart, a big hole is made so material from the mantle fills the void and creates a new crust. It can be seen as a wound for example, a scab begins to repair the wound but any stress cracks it apart, that causes the blood (mantle) to ooze back in again to reform a new scab (crust).Hope I helped :)wrong...it's divergent.
New crust forms when or where?
where two plates pull apart from each other at oceanic ridges
