What word of kind of action pulls plates apart?
Tectonic plates, if it is the plates you are talking about, move because of Earth's interior. Recall that inside Earth is flowing lava that rises to the surface. That lava pushes the plates nearest it so it can make place for itself.
What force pulls tectonic plates toward each other?
COMPRESSION
What is the force that stretches or pull apart the crust called?
When there is a divergent boundary, regardless if the plates are ocean-ocean or continental-continental, tensional stress pulls on the crust. Rocks have weaker tensional strength than compressive strength, so they are easier to pull apart.
The stress force that pulls on the crust where two plates are moving apart is called .?
tension
What is the stress force that pulls on the crust where two plates are moving apart?
it may be gravity
Do tectonic plates effect volcanoes and earthquakes?
There is an intricate set of techtonic plates that are located all over the earth. When volcanic eruptions occur then these plates can shift due to the excess pressure that the eruptions cause. This techtonic plate movement can then result in earthquakes.
What is the process that pulls apart continents?
Plate tectonics. Sub layers called tectonic plates lie underneath continents move, shift, and grind against or away from each other. The actual process of pulling apart is called diverging. The super-continent Pangaea is an example of a continent that was pulled apart. First it was pulled apart into two continents that are called Laurasia and Gondwana and then was pulled farther apart into the world that we see today.
What is the force that stretches or pulls apart the crust of the earth?
Tension stretches or pulls apart the crust.
What is stress that pulls and stretches the rock of the crust?
Rocks in the crust are put under a pulling stress, or tensile stress, when tectonic plates are moving apart from one another. A good example of this is the Rift Valley in Africa.
When do volcanic eruptions occur?
volcanic eruptions occur when the tectonic plates are convergent which is when one plate goes under another plate and the magma gets hot orwhen the plates are divergent that's when the plate pulls apart and magma fills the hole.
