A divergent boundary causes what type of stress?
It causes tensional stress.
What tectonic plate boundary causes mid-ocean ridges?
Divergent Plate Boundary.
What type of boundary occurs between the max a plate and the South American plate?
Convergent on the western perimeter, divergent on the Easter perimeter.
The force tension at a divergent plate boundary causes a what?
The force that occurs at divergent boundaries is a convection force. This force allows material to rise to the base of the lithosphere beneath each divergent plate boundary.
What are two tectonic plates pulling away called?
Divergent plates. They form a divergent plate boundary.
What boundary does a rift valley form at?
A divergent boundary.
What causes magma to form a divergent plate boundary?
At a divergent plate boundary the crust is thin. This reduces pressure on the upper mantle, lowering the melting point and allowing some rock to melt.
What boundary does new crust form at?
Divergent plate boundary.
A divergent boundary causes what type of stress?
It causes tensional stress.
What are plate boundaries that move away form each other?
divergent
What tectonic plate boundary causes mid-ocean ridges?
Divergent Plate Boundary.
What is a boundary where 2 plates move apart?
It is called a divergent plate boundary.
Which type of mountain forms because of a divergent plate boundary?
Fault-block mountains form due to divergent boundary plates.
What type of boundary is formed when plate separate?
Divergent boundary is formed
