What is sliding boundary?
forms when two {crustal} lithosphere plates move apart.
Long crack that forms as two tectonic plates move apart?
Long crack that forms as two tectonic plates move apart
Crustal plates that move apart are most likely located where?
Usually along rift valleys I believe.
What is formed when crustal plates move toward each other?
when tectonic plates move toward each othe forms
What happens when the plates move apart towards and slide past?
When two plates move apart it forms a hole but new crust is formed.
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 forms when two lithospheric plates move apart?
When two lithosphere plates move apart a divergent boundary is formed. Hope this helps you. :D
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
Im the gap that forms as tectonic plates move apart?
Oceanic trenches are the gaps which form when the tectonic plates move apart. They are the very deepest parts of the ocean.
Why do rocks and crustal plates move?
beacause it is moving
