What else can I help you with?
What type of motion does the African plate have?
divergent
What kinds of plate motion are associated with mid-ocean ridges and undersea volcanic mountains?
Divergent motion
Does divergent motion create reverse faults?
No, divergent motion does not create reverse faults. Reverse faults are created by compressional forces that cause the rock layers to be pushed together, leading to an upward movement on one side of the fault. Divergent motion, on the other hand, occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other, creating rift zones and normal faults.
What are the three types of plate boundaries and what types of faults occur there?
a. Transform:transform boundaries or motion creates strike-slip faults.b. Convergent:convergent boundaries or motion creates reverse faults.c. Divergent:divergent motion creates a normal fault.
What are the three types of plate motion and the faults that are characteristic of each motion?
convergent plates produce thrust faults divergent plates form normal faults transform plates form strike/slip faults
Why is it important to know what type of plates are interacting at plate boundaries?
Where plates meet, their relative motion determines the type of boundary: convergent, divergent, or transform.
Why don't volcano's form along San Andres fault?
When volcanoes form, they are typically caused by a convergent or divergent motion. The San Andreas Fault was formed from a transform motion, or when the plates slide past each other.
How does transform plate boundaries help divergent boundaries?
Transform plate boundaries accommodate the horizontal motion between divergent boundaries by allowing the plates to slide past each other. This movement prevents the plates from colliding or converging, helping to facilitate the separation and spreading of the divergent boundaries.
What is a boundary where 2 plates move apart?
It is called a divergent plate boundary.
What is an antonym for the word divergent?
divergent are kisses
Is it true when a sequence is divergent then its subsequences are divergent explain?
Not always true. Eg the divergent series 1,0,2,0,3,0,4,... has both convergent and divergent sub-sequences.
What type of boundary occurs between the max a plate and the South American plate?
Convergent on the western perimeter, divergent on the Easter perimeter.
