∙ 11y agoWhen the plates separate water fills in the cracks, this leaves trenches ie. (Mariana Trench) the deepest part of the ocean approx. 7mil below sea level.

∙ 11y agoThey make a cheesy joke about plates saying good bye like "Plate you later" •_• also are you talking about dinner plates?

∙ 13y agoi think when two oceanic plates move apart ridges are formed. if two continental plates move apart rift velleys are formed. :)

What directions do the plates move relative to one another at a divergent plate boundary?
they move away form each other, so what ever the direction the plates are the move the apposite direction away
What happens to lithospheric plates when an earthquake occurs?
Lithospheric plates, which also are called tectonic plates, move towards or away from each other when an earthquake occurs.
Do all continential plates move in the same direction?
No. Normally they move in opposite directions, and can crash into one another - when this happens mountains are formed or deep sea trenches made. There are also points where they move directly away form one another, this happens along mid oceanic ridges and the geographic feature that occurs in these regions are the Oceans.
Boundary between two plates that are moving apart?
Convergent: plates move into one another.Divergent: plates move apart.Transform: plates move sideways in relation to each other.
The area of two neighboring tectonic plates move away from one another is called a what boundary?
A. Divergent
Do volcanoes erupt when earths plates move?
Well, when earths plates move away from each other that's when it happens but move well then NO!
What directions do the plates move relative to one another at a divergent plate boundary?
they move away form each other, so what ever the direction the plates are the move the apposite direction away
Do convergent plates move away from each other?
they move against one another
When two plates move away from one another we have a?
It creates a divergent boundary.
What happens to lithospheric plates when an earthquake occurs?
Lithospheric plates, which also are called tectonic plates, move towards or away from each other when an earthquake occurs.
What are three ways plates can move in relation to one another?
Plates either move towards each other (convergent plates), away from each other (divergent plates) or slide next to each other (transform plates).
What evntually happens to seafloor that is carried away from a mid-ocean ridge?
Seafloor continues to move away from the mid-ocean ridge and eventually comes into contact with another plate boundary. Ocean plates subduct underneath continental plates and are forced down into the lithosphere

What do plates do when an earthquake happens?
They move
The area of two neighboring tectonic plates move away from one another is called a what boundary?
A. Divergent
Which way does the divergent boundary go?
The diverging plates move away from one another in opposite directions.
