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. They occur at convergent boundaries.
Is the San Andreas fault divergent?
no, it is a strike-slip fault, with a shearing motion
What are three types of earthquakes caused by plate motion types from weakest to strongest?
divergent, transform, convergent
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.
What are plate boundaries that move away form each other?
divergent
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.
