divergent boundaries happen when 2 plates move apart or divide
What else can I help you with?
What happens along divergent boundaries?
along divergent boundaries tectonic plates move apart & rifts are created
What are the 2 types of divergent boundaries and what happens in each?
continetal and oceanic
How are oceanic ridges form?
divergent boundaries
How are convergent boundaries different from divergent boundries?
convergent boundaries collide but divergent boundaries move away from each other.
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.
Where are rift boundaries formed at and what happens at them?
A rift boundary is a divergent boundary, where two plates of the earth's crust are moving away from each other. Divergent boundaries occur at mid-oceanic ridges on the sea floor, but usually the term rift is used to describe divergent boundaries on the land. The best known one is in eastern Africa.
Where are most divergent boundaries found?
On the seafloor. Yes, the mid oceanic ridges are all divergent boundaries.
Which type of boundaries is seafloor created by?
Seafloor is created at divergent plate boundaries called the mid-ocean ridges.
What are plate boundaries that move away form each other?
divergent
Insterting facts about divergent boundaries?
Divergent Boundaries - A boundary between two lithoperic plates that are moving apart .
Do divergent boundaries cause island arcing?
No. Divergent boundaries cause mid ocean ridges (MORs) to form.
What do transform boundaries have in common with divergent boundaries?
Both transform boundaries and divergent boundaries involve movement of Earth's tectonic plates. However, transform boundaries involve plates sliding past each other horizontally, while divergent boundaries involve plates moving away from each other.
