How are the movement of plates at divergent boundaries and at transform boundaries?

They both have a Rift Valley.

How are the movement of plates are divergent boundaries and at transform boundaries similar?

They are not similar, divergent boundaries are where the move apart. transform boundaries are where the two plates rub together and move in opposite directions with great force.

How are the movement of plates at divergent boundaries and at the transform boundaries similar?

The difference between transform and divergent boundaries is that transform boundaries occur when tectonic plates slide past each other, whereas at divergent boundaries they move away from each other. However in both cases the plates move horizontally (unlike at convergent boundaries where one plate may be pushed underneath another).


What do transform boundaries have in common with divergent boundaries?

Rhe tectonic plates are moving in both divergent and transform boundaries


At what boundaries do plates move apart?

Divergent boundary.


What are the three types of plate bounderies?

the three types of plate boundaries are : -convergent plate boundaries -divergent plate boundaries -transformed plate boundaries


What happens divergent boundaries?

divergent boundaries happen when 2 plates move apart or divide


How plates move at divergent boundaries?

Plates are moved at a divergent boundary by the magma pushing upwards.


What is the difference between convergent and divergent and transform boundaries?

Divergent boundaries- Plates move apart from each other Convergent boundaries- Plates compress against each other Transform boundaries- Plates move past each other
