What happens when the plates move apart towards and slide past?
When two plates move apart it forms a hole but new crust is formed.
What are the large thin plates that move relative to one another on the outer surface of earth called?

What do tectonic plates do at a divergent plate boundary?
At a divergent boundary tectonic plates move apart.
Tectonic plates interact at what?
Tectonic plates interact at plate boundariesThey move apart at divergent boundaries
Im the gap that forms as tectonic plates move apart?
Oceanic trenches are the gaps which form when the tectonic plates move apart. They are the very deepest parts of the ocean.
What happens along divergent boundaries?
along divergent boundaries tectonic plates move apart & rifts are created
What occurs when tectonic plates move apart?
A rift valley.
What happens when tectonic plates suddenly move?
An Earthquake happens.
At a mid Ocean ridge how do the two tectonic plates move?
The plates move apart, which is called a divergent boundary.
How far apart are tectonic plates moving?
The tectonic plates move at about the same speed your finger nails grow. The gap the plates create when they move apart is constantly being closed up by magma moving up from the mantle.
Places where tectonic plates move apart are called?
Divergent Boundary
Which feature do you see when tectonic plates move apart?
