They undergo extension, tear in two and move away from each other.

^ is wrong...
Real answer: Normal falts form. Earthquakes occure, and streams and rivers flow in the cracks. Forming new lakes as a result.
^is the right answer.

∙ 14y agoAt a divergent plate boundary, the crust is growing from the solidification of molten material that is rising from the mantle. As the plates on either side of the DPB are moving away from each other, the void is filled by hot, buoyant new crust.

∙ 14y agoDivergence occurs due to extensional or tensile stress. This leads to the formation of normal faults. If the extensional stress is maintained then tensile strain will continue leading to the formation of horst and graben structures and if this continues the formation of a rift valley. Ultimately this can lead to the formation of a new mid ocean ridge.

What type of boundary oceanic crust?
Convergent boundary.
What type of boundary destroys oceanic crust?
Convergent boundary.
Is continental collision a type of convergent boundary?
Yes. It is a convergent boundary where both masses consist of continental crust.
What kind of plate boundary does subduction take place at?
A convergent plate boundary. a piece of continental crust and a piece of oceanic crust meeting at a convergent boundary.
Is a new oceanic crust formed at a transform fault boundary?
No. New oceanic crust is formed at a divergent boundary. A convergent boundary neither creates nor destroys crust.
Is new crust created at a convergent boundary?
No. New crust is created along a divergent boundary. Crust is destroyed at a convergent boundary.
What type of boundary oceanic crust?
Convergent boundary.
What type of plate boundary destroys crust?
Convergent boundary
What type of boundary destroys oceanic crust?
Convergent boundary.
Is continental collision a type of convergent boundary?
Yes. It is a convergent boundary where both masses consist of continental crust.
What kind of plate boundary does subduction take place at?
A convergent plate boundary. a piece of continental crust and a piece of oceanic crust meeting at a convergent boundary.
This type of boundary forms when the crust of one plate is being pushed down and turned into molten rock?
The type of boundary that forms when the crust of one plate is pushed down under another plate and turned into molten rock is referred to as a convergent boundary. Convergent boundaries form when oceanic crust slides beneath continental crust.
Which boundary destroys crust?
Convergent BoundariesGO middle school
Is a new oceanic crust formed at a transform fault boundary?
No. New oceanic crust is formed at a divergent boundary. A convergent boundary neither creates nor destroys crust.
What two types of crust are involved at this type of convergent boundary?
The two types of Crust is the Continental Crust and the Oceanic Crust.
Which plate boundary occurs as continental crust collides with continental crust?
Convergent plate boundaries.
Which plate boundary destroys crust?
Crust is destroyed at the convergent plate boundary. This is usually between the oceanic and continental plates. This is where subduction of the more dense crust occurs.
