What is a set of cracks that forms when two tectonic plates are pulling away from each other known as?
Divergent Plate Boundary. A Rift Valley forms between the two plates.
What else can I help you with?
When deep set of cracks forms when tectonic plates pull away from each other?
Rift zone
Underwater mountains chains that forms where two tectonic plates are pulling are called?
Underwater mountain chains that form where two tectonic plates are pulling apart are called mid ocean ridges. The largest is the Mid Atlantic Ridge.
Set of deep cracks that forms at divergent boundary?
Rift valleys form at divergent boundaries when tectonic plates move apart. As the plates separate, they create a gap where molten rock can rise from the mantle, solidify, and form new crust. This process leads to the formation of deep cracks and fissures in the Earth's crust.
Tectonic plates float on a layer of the earth called the?
The outer layer of the earth where the land masses are is called the crust
Why is the earth continually changes forms?
The tectonic plates are constantly moving
Are in constant motion and change the forms of the Earth's crust?
Tectonic Plates ----APEX ;D
What is cadera?
cordera is somthing that forms tectonic plates cordera is somthing that forms tectonic plates
What do plate tectonics have to do with earthquakes?
When tectonic plates come together or go under or over each other, forms a volcano. that what tectonic plates do form volcanoes!!! Thank you
What boundary forms when tectonic plates pull apart?
A divergent boundary forms when tectonic plates pull apart. As the plates move away from each other, magma rises up to create new crust, resulting in features like mid-ocean ridges or rift valleys on land.
What is the difference between a vent and rift?
A vent is an opening in the Earth's surface where gas or magma can escape, while a rift is a crack or fissure in the Earth's crust where tectonic plates are pulling apart. Vents are typically associated with volcanic activity, while rifts are formed by the movement of tectonic plates.
What layer alone with the crust forms the solid tectonic plates?
The lithosphere, which includes the uppermost portion of the mantle, forms the solid tectonic plates along with the crust. This layer is divided into massive plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them.
A Which rigid zone on the Earth's surface forms the earth's drifting tectonic plates?
The lithosphere.
