What else can I help you with?
What is it called when two lithospheric plates move apart?
Continental Plates
When the earth plates move apart what happens?
when two plate moves apart from each other the intrusion of magma has been take place from mantle
When two continental plates move apart?
earthquake!!!!!!
What happens when the plates move apart towards and slide past?
When tectonic plates move apart, it creates a divergent boundary. As the plates separate, magma from beneath the Earth's surface can rise up, creating new crust. This process can lead to the formation of volcanic activity and mid-ocean ridges.
When two plates move apart underwater what forms?
an earthquake
What forms when two crustal plates move apart?
an earthquake
How are divergent plates different from convergent plates?
Divergent Boundaries happen when two plates (oceanic or contental) begin to diverge, or move apart. Convergent Boundaries occur when two plates (again, oceanic or contential) begin to converge or move apart
What forms when two lithospheric plates move apart?
When two lithospheric plates move apart, a divergent boundary is formed. This process results in the creation of new oceanic crust as magma rises to fill the gap between the plates, forming a mid-ocean ridge.
What is it called when two oceanic plates move apart and new crust is formed?
This process is called seafloor spreading. As the two plates move apart, magma rises from the mantle to create new crust at the mid-ocean ridge. This process helps explain the movement of Earth's tectonic plates and the reshaping of the ocean floor.
Where two of the earth plates split apart?
At the boundry of two tectonic plates, you get volcanoes, earthquake epicentres and ( if its under the ocean) tsunamis.
What is the boundary between two plates that move apart?
divergent boundary
What happens when two tectonic plates move apart?
Magma seeps up through the two plates from the mantle and form volcanos.
