When 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.
A volcano will form at the boundary of two plates moving apart. This is because the two plates moving apart create a crack allowing molten lava to flow up from the mantle.
If the plates are moving together from opposite directions, the colliding edges will uplift into mountain ranges. If the plates are moving apart, a rift valley will form. If the plates are moving together at oblique angles, a fault zone will occur.
two plates moving apart on a hot spot
divergent boundary
It is called a divergent plate boundary.
False. A rift valley forms when continental plates diverge or pull apart. When two continental plates collide the result is a mountain range.
it may be gravity
tension
Magma seeps up through the two plates from the mantle and form volcanos.
Convergent: plates move into one another.Divergent: plates move apart.Transform: plates move sideways in relation to each other.
An earth quake. This happens because the vibrations force the plates apart
it happens when two plates in the earth is moving a agents one another
