Where tectonic plates move away?
At Divergent Plate Boundaries.
Tectonic plates interact at what?
Tectonic plates interact at plate boundariesThey move apart at divergent boundaries
What happens at spreading plate boundaries?
tectonic plates move apart allowing magma to move to the surface.
Why do most earthquakes occur near tectonic plate boundaries?
Tectonic plates move along, against, or away from eachother at their boundaries. These movements produce earthquakes
What do you call plate boundaries that move away from each other?
Constructive tectonic plates?
Where plates tectonics move past each other?
At tectonic plate boundaries, earthquake zones, and the edges of tectonic plates.
Why do Earthquakes most commonly occur near tectonic plate boundaries.?
Tectonic plates move along, against, or away from eachother at their boundaries. These movements produce earthquakes
What are the two ways the tectonic plates move?
Tectonic plate interactions are of three different basic types: Divergent boundaries are areas where plates move away from each other, forming either mid-oceanic ridges or rift valleys. These are also known as constructive boundaries. Convergent boundaries are areas where plates move toward each other and collide.
Describe what happens in three different kinds of plates collisions?
When plates collide, plate boundaries are formed. There are three kinds. At divergent boundaries, two tectonic plates move away from each other and make earthquakes. At convergent boundaries, two plates come together and make mountain ranges. At transform boundaries, one plate slides under the other.
What is the place where two tectonic plates move away from each other horizontially?
The place where two tectonic plates move away from each other horizontally are called divergent plate boundaries.
Why are tilted blocks of rock common along mid-ocean ridges?
Plates move apart at these tectonic plate boundaries.
What does plate boundaries mean?
Earth's crust is broken up into segments called tectonic plates, which move very slowly. A plate boundary is where two of these plates meet. There are three basic types: convergent boundaries where plates collide, divergent boundaries where plates pull apart, and transform boundaries where plates slide past each other.
