They are called constructive boundaries. New crust is constructed as the plates move apart and magma erupts.
What else can I help you with?
Divergent Boundaries are also called?
Spreading centers.
Which type of boundaries is seafloor created by?
Seafloor is created at divergent plate boundaries called the mid-ocean ridges.
How are oceanic ridges form?
divergent boundaries
What are plate boundaries that move away form each other?
divergent
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 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.
What is the edge of a tectonic plate?
Divergent boundaries - two plates Pull away from each other. Convergent boundaries - when two plates collide forming trenches or causing earthquakes. Tranform boundaries - two plates slide past each other
What landforms are formed at diverging boundaries?
In plate tectonics, divergent boundaries occur when plates pull apart. On land, divergent boundaries form rifts or valleys. More commonly, divergent boundaries in the ocean occur and cause mid-oceanic ridges. Divergent boundaries can also form volcanoes when the plates separate enough to allow molten lava to seep out, harden, and eventually form islands.
What happens divergent boundaries?
divergent boundaries happen when 2 plates move apart or divide
Where are divergent boundarys found?
Divergent boundaries are found primarily along mid-ocean ridges, where tectonic plates are moving away from each other. Additionally, divergent boundaries can also occur on continents, leading to the formation of rift valleys.
Plates on the surface move away from each other?
They are called divergent plate boundaries.
