What else can I help you with?
What do plates move apart on?
Plates move apart on divergent plate boundaries.
What are the three ways boundaries interact?
convergent boundaries: plates move together divergent boundaries: plates move apart transform boundaries: plates move against each other
What are spreading boundaries?
Spreading boundaries are places where two plates move apart.
What types of plates move apart?
divergent plate boundaries do.
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 happens divergent boundaries?
divergent boundaries happen when 2 plates move apart or divide
How are plates moving at diverging boundaries?
To diverge means to move apart.
How are the movement of plates are divergent boundaries and at transform boundaries similar?
They are not similar, divergent boundaries are where the move apart. transform boundaries are where the two plates rub together and move in opposite directions with great force.
What do plates move apart along on?
Plates move apart along divergent boundaries, where new crust is created through volcanic activity and magma upwelling from the mantle. This process is called seafloor spreading and occurs primarily in mid-ocean ridges.
Tectonic plates interact at what?
Tectonic plates interact at plate boundariesThey move apart at divergent boundaries
What happens along divergent boundaries?
along divergent boundaries tectonic plates move apart & rifts are created
What happens at spreading plate boundaries?
tectonic plates move apart allowing magma to move to the surface.
