The place where tectonic plates touch is known as the what?
It is called plate boundarys :P
What is a boundary where two tectonic plates move away from each other leaving a newly constructed ridge in between?
divergent boundary
Is the moving portion of earth's crust and upper mantle called a ridge?
Not quite. These are known as tectonic plates. A (mid ocean) ridge is a type of boundary between differing tectonic plates which are diverging or moving away from each other..
Which of these is a boundary where two tectonic plates move away from each other leaving a newly constructed ridge in between?
divergent
When two tectonic plates move away from one another the boundary between them is called what?
A "mid oceanic ridge" A "rift valley" or "graben" A "Constructive Plate Boundary" An "Ocean"

What kind of boundary is located at the mid ocean ridge?
The mid-ocean ridge is formed along a divergent or constructive plate boundary between two plates of oceanic crust.
At a mid Ocean ridge how do the two tectonic plates move?
The plates move apart, which is called a divergent boundary.

divergent boundary
What boundary is responsible for forming Iceland?
The Gakkel Ridge (formerly known as the Nansen Cordillera and Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge)

Which Of Theses Is A Boundary Where Two Tectonic Plates Move Away From Each Other Leaving A Newly Constructed ridge in between?
divergent
What happens at a divergent boundary?
At this type of boundary, two tectonic plates move apart from eachother. This movement of plates causes new crust to be formed. Examples of the work of divergent boundaries are present at deep ocean trenches and volcanic islands, like the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Hope that answers your question for you
A mid-ocean ridge forms along what plates?
tectonic plates
What tectonic plates is surtsey on?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge
