plates puled apart
What else can I help you with?
What is it called when two plates are pulling apart?
When two plates are pulling apart, it is known as divergent boundary or divergent plate boundary. This type of boundary results in the formation of new crust as magma rises to the surface and solidifies.
What is it called when two plates are pulling apart in the middle of a continent?
divergent boundary
How the continents separate?
Plates pulling apart.
How do plates pull apart?
The process called plate tectonics is responsible for plates pulling apart. Over time, and with the combination of carbon dioxide, erosion, and force, plates are able to pull apart. This will eventually cause some plates to separate from one another.
Do plates pulling apart cause volcanoes?
no but coliding plates create volcanoes
What is a pulling force called that causes plates to move apart even forming new lithosphere?
The pulling force that causes tectonic plates to move apart, leading to the formation of new lithosphere, is called "tensional force." This force occurs at divergent boundaries, where plates are pushed apart due to mantle convection and the upwelling of magma. As the plates separate, magma rises to fill the gap, solidifying to create new crust.
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.
Do plate boundaries cause volcanoes?
Not per-Se, but plates pulling apart AND plates being overridden do cause magma upwellings.
Do trenches occur where plates are moving apart?
Trenches form where plates are moving towards each other in a convergent plate boundary, not where they are moving apart. At divergent boundaries, such as mid-ocean ridges, plates are moving apart, creating new crust.
What is it called when two lithospheric plates move apart?
Continental Plates
How they make a volcanic?
Volcanos are formed by tectonic plates pulling apart exposing the magma in the earth's mantle.
What is a pulling apart force called?
A pulling apart force is typically called tension. This force occurs when two objects are being pulled away from each other.
