This tectonic boundary is known as a divergent boundary which will cause the formation of normals faults, leading to horst and graben structures. If the tensile stress is maintained and divergence continues, this will form a rift valley and ultimately due to the thinning of the crust, the creation of a new ocean and mid ocean spreading centre.
What else can I help you with?
What is a deep crack in the earths crust called?
A fault.
What do you call the deep cracks in the earths crust along which the crust shifted?
Trenches if they are in zones of subduction. Falt lines are in areas of shifting plates (rubbing against or parallel)
Set of deep cracks that forms at divergent boundary?
Rift valleys form at divergent boundaries when tectonic plates move apart. As the plates separate, they create a gap where molten rock can rise from the mantle, solidify, and form new crust. This process leads to the formation of deep cracks and fissures in the Earth's crust.
What is molten rock deep beneath the Earth's crust called?
Molten rock deep beneath the Earth's crust is called magma.
What is a deep crack in Earth's crust called?
a fault
Deep cracks in earth's crust are called?

What is the size of the earths crust?
The Earths crust is approximately 650 km deep.

What rock is found deep in the earths crust?

How and why does the earths crust vary from place to place?
The earths crust its 5-70km deep in the ocean and upto 100km deep at mountain ranges. At certain areas, the crust is unstable due to moving plate tectonics.

Minerals can form deep inside earths crust by?
Minerals can form deep inside Earth's crust through a process called crystallization from cooling magma or hydrothermal activity where hot water dissolves and transports minerals to deposit them in cracks and fissures. This process allows for the growth and development of a wide variety of minerals over extended periods of time.
What is the name of the long deep valleys that are formed by the movement of Earths crust?
rift valleys
