When any fault occurs or tectonic plates pull away from each other under the ground.
An earthquake happens.
Divergent plate movement.
At a divergent plat boundary the plates are moving APART in opposite directions and this is a constructive plate boundary.A transform boundary is one where the plates are SLIDING past each other in opposite directions.
Continental Crust
A brief description of each with occurences:Convergent--the collision of two plates from opposite directions. Mountain formation, volcanic activity, earthquakes. Divergent--The pulling apart of two plates in opposite directions. Creation of new crust with volcanism. Ridges. Transform--Where plates slide past each other. Earthquakes, fault mountains.
A boundary of plate divergence, (divergent boundary).
A Transform boundary consists of plates that slide past each other in opposite directions. The earth is made of lots of different sliding plates.
Transform Boundary
A strike-slip boundary is when two plates move in two opposite directions from each other in a vertical fashion. For example, this line: | and this line | would be touching each other, and moving in opposite directions.Source: Eighth Grade Science
Normally when two plates pass each other they create earthquakes and faults. When two plates pass each other the type of boundary the have is called a Transform Boundary.
