What plate boundary separates the North American plate from the African plate?
Divergent plate boundary
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.
Which type of boundaries is seafloor created by?
Seafloor is created at divergent plate boundaries called the mid-ocean ridges.
What is an example of a divergent plate boundary and a transform plate boundary?
Divergent plate boundary: Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Transform plate boundary: San Andreas Fault.
What type of plate boundary is Hekla the volcano formed?
A diverging is the type of plate boundary that the Hekla volcano formed. Hekla last erupted in 2000. It is located in Iceland. ADDED. Also called a "constructive" plate boundary, because the upwelling magma adds rock to the edges of the two plates.
What is a boundary where 2 plates move apart?
It is called a divergent plate boundary.
What types of stress occurs at a divergent plate boundary?
Tensional stress
At what type of plate boundary is new ocean crust formed?
Older material
What plate boundary separates the North American plate from the African plate?
Divergent plate boundary
What type of plate boundary causes shear stresses?
Shearing stress is one of three kinds of stresses. Compressional and tensional are the others. Shearing stress is associated with transform. The other two kinds of plate boundaries are convergent and divergent.
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.
Which type of boundaries is seafloor created by?
Seafloor is created at divergent plate boundaries called the mid-ocean ridges.
What type of plate boundary forms rift valleys?
A divergent plate boundary.
What is is the boundary when two plates that are moving apart?
It is called a divergent plate boundary.
The area where two neighboring tectonic plates move away from one another is called an areas boundary?
A divergent boundary is an area where two neighboring tectonic plates move away from one another. It can also be called a divergent plate boundary, constructive boundary or extensional boundary.
What is an example of a divergent plate boundary and a transform plate boundary?
Divergent plate boundary: Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Transform plate boundary: San Andreas Fault.
What type of boundary is formed when plate separate?
Divergent boundary is formed
