How plates move at divergent boundaries?
Plates are moved at a divergent boundary by the magma pushing upwards.
What happens divergent boundaries?
divergent boundaries happen when 2 plates move apart or divide

What happens when you have divergent boundaries by submarine eruptions and intrusions of rhyolitic magma?
When divergent boundaries are associated with submarine eruptions and intrusions of rhyolitic magma, it can lead to the formation of new oceanic crust. Rhyolitic magma is rich in silica and tends to be more viscous, resulting in explosive eruptions that can build underwater volcanoes and contribute to seafloor spreading. The cooling and solidification of this magma at the boundaries can create hydrothermal vents and mineral deposits that support unique ecosystems.
What kind of magma is formed at divergent boundaries?
Usually a dense basaltic magma with low water content.
What happens along divergent boundaries?
along divergent boundaries tectonic plates move apart & rifts are created
Ocean ridges are formed by what boundaries?
Divergent boundaries form ocean ridges.
How is seafloor spreading formed?
This happens at divergent boundaries where the plates move away from each other. Magma slips up here and forms new crust.
What are divert boundaries?
Divergent boundaries are tectonic plate boundaries where two plates move away from each other. This movement results in the upwelling of magma from the mantle, creating new crust. Divergent boundaries are typically found along mid-ocean ridges.
How do valcanoes form at divergent plate boundaries?
Beneath the Earth's crust is a lot of magma. Thus as the plates pull apart, it leaves a gap through which the magma can travel and erupt as lava. For example at the Mid Atlantic Ridge, there are divergent plate boundaries. The 'gap' between the divorcing plates allows magma to boil through, building up the ridge in the process.
What are plate boundaries that move away form each other?
divergent
What divergent plate boundaries in the ocean magma rises and melts because of?
Because of a decrease in pressure.
