Where 2 plates moved apart from each other are called?
I'm guessing you're talking about the tectonic plates? Divergence.
Where do hot spots originate?
Hot spots begin at where 2 plates move apart
What forms when 2 oceanic plates move apart?
Some move away from each other and create massive trenches normally in the sea bed, for example the Mariana Trench - 10,998 m.
What type of volcanoes occur when 2 tectonic plates move apart and magma rises up to create new crust?
Rift Volcanoes.
Why does sea floor spreading have to happen in the sea?
Because of plate tectonics. Because it's 2 plates underwater that are moving apart. Magma rise up to where the 2 plates are separating to fill in the gap. Seafloor spreading occurs underwater.
When continental plates pull apart they form this?
rift valley Answer 2 Continents are formed when continental plates pull apart.
When continental plates pull apart they form?
rift valley Answer 2 Continents are formed when continental plates pull apart.
What is the definition for a divergent boundary?
It is where 2 plates are separating, moving away from each other and magma fills the space.
How is a divergent fault formed?
When magma pushes 2 plates apart. :)
What happens when 2 tectonic plates spread apart?
It creates a volcano
Where 2 plates moved apart from each other are called?

When does a mid ocean ridge form?
It forms when the 2 plates converge or come apart
What is is a spreading boundary?
a spreading boundary is when 2 plates spread apart from each other.
Where do hot spots originate?
Hot spots begin at where 2 plates move apart
What happens divergent boundaries?
divergent boundaries happen when 2 plates move apart or divide
What a spreading center and what is made at one?
Sea floor spreading 2 oceanic plates coming apart
Why do most earthquakes happen at the plates?
Most earthquakes happen at the plates because the plates (continental plates) sometimes move. If it moves and slides against another one going the other way, the plates' connecting part will tremble and shake and fall apart. It starts like this: 1. The plates start to move. The land between, roads, and other things bend. 2. The plates suddenly break, and some of the roads get carried away, so everything falls apart.
