What do you call the plate boundary where plates are moving away from each other?
divergent boundary
What do you call two plate grind past each other?
Transform boundary
What do we call a crack or break along which rocks move?
A fault line, or plate boundary.
What type of plate boundary is associated with a pull-apart rift zone?
What you call a pull apart rift zone is what is called a divergent boundary. Most divergent zones are located under water and are a zone where new oceanic crust is born. One location where a divergent zone can be seen on land can be found in Iceland.
How does the theory of plate tectonics explain how mountains form?
The theory of plate tectonics explains that mountains form when two tectonic plates collide. This collision causes one plate to be forced beneath the other, creating intense pressure and causing the Earth's crust to buckle and fold, forming mountains. This process is known as convergent plate boundary.
What do we call the plate boundary where plates are moving away from each other?
divergent boundary
What do we call the plate boundary where plates are moving towards each other?
Convergence Boundary.
What do you call the plate boundary where plates are moving away from each other?
divergent boundary
What do you call volcanoes that don't form at a plate boundary?

What do you call two plate grind past each other?
Transform boundary
When plate movement causes rocks to break it's called .?
At the region between the two plates, called a transform boundary, pent-up energy builds in the rock. A fault line, a break in the Earth's crust where blocks of crust are moving in different directions, will form. Most, though not all, earthquakes happen along transform boundary fault lines.
What do we call a crack or break along which rocks move?
A fault line, or plate boundary.
What do you call volcanoes that aren't on plate boundary edges?
Such volcanoes are hot spot volcanoes.
What type of plate boundary is associated with a pull-apart rift zone?
What you call a pull apart rift zone is what is called a divergent boundary. Most divergent zones are located under water and are a zone where new oceanic crust is born. One location where a divergent zone can be seen on land can be found in Iceland.
What do you call the type of plate movement wherein two plates move from each other and cause the widening of the sea floor?
That happens at a divergent plate boundary
What do you call the large pieces of the Earth's crust?
A tectonic plate could be described as a huge block of Earth's crust. For more information, please see the related link.
What is that call when two plates are moving from each other?
When two plates move away from each other it is called a divergent plate boundary because they are dividing.
