What else can I help you with?
What is sliding boundary?
forms when two {crustal} lithosphere plates move apart.
Crustal plates that move apart are most likely located where?
Usually along rift valleys I believe.
When two plates move apart underwater what forms?
an earthquake
How have crustal plates moved over time?
Molten magma from the mantle rises at the top oceanic ridge, cools and solidifies, continually forming a crustal plate. Hundreds to thousands of miles from the ridge the plate moves downward into the mantle at the contact with another plate and melts. The continuous process resembling a large "conveyor belt" moves the crustal plate a few centimeters each year.
What happens to magma divergent boundaries?
At divergent boundaries, two plates move apart from each other and the space that this creates is filled with new crustal material sourced from molten magma that forms below.
What crustal feature will form when two crustal plates move together?
a fault
What is formed when crustal plates move toward each other?
When crustal plates move toward each other, they can form convergent boundaries where one plate is forced beneath the other in a process called subduction. This can result in the formation of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic activity in the area.
Long crack that forms as two tectonic plates move apart?
A long, linear crack that forms as two tectonic plates move apart is called a mid-ocean ridge. This type of boundary is where new oceanic crust is created as molten rock rises up from the mantle and solidifies along the spreading center. Over time, as the plates continue to move apart, the new crust forms a continuous ridge on the ocean floor.
Why do rocks and crustal plates move?
beacause it is moving
What happens to the space between plates as some plates move apart?
It forms a hole but new crust is formed.
How does the crustal plates moves?
by bubbling hot magma in the earth's inner core, erupting from volcanoes and causing earthquakes which cause the crustal plates to move.
What do plates move apart on?
Plates move apart on divergent plate boundaries.
