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.
What forms the elevated part of the earths crust?
continental crust
Earth does not get bigger as new oceanic crust forms?
Just as new oceanic crust forms at mid-ocean ridges, old oceanic crust is destroyed at subduction zones.
Does Rhyolitic magma forms beneath continental or oceanic crust?
continental crust
When two pieces of continental crust pull apart a what forms?
a valley or a canyon
What is an enormous gap that forms as new ocean crust cools and moves apart?

the answer is rift valley

New crust forms when or where?
where two plates pull apart from each other at oceanic ridges
What plate boundaries are where the crust forms?
new crust forms at divergint bounderies where plates move apart magma oozes up and cools down and creates new crust and the old crust moves away and sucks in the earth
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.
What happens to the space between plates as some plates move apart?
It forms a hole but new crust is formed.
What type of boundary forms when two plates pull apart?
When the two plates are pulled apart it forms a Constructive Plate Boundary. When it is pulled apart, a big hole is made so material from the mantle fills the void and creates a new crust. It can be seen as a wound for example, a scab begins to repair the wound but any stress cracks it apart, that causes the blood (mantle) to ooze back in again to reform a new scab (crust).Hope I helped :)wrong...it's divergent.
How does a trench forms?
They form when the oceanic crust goes under the Continental crust. The oceanic crust then forms the trenches through a process called subduction.
What forms the elevated part of the earths crust?
continental crust
