What processes found at convergent boundary will help form the following rocks?
The processes found at convergent boundary that help in the formation of rocks are subduction zones. Igneous rocks form around convergent boundaries.
The youngest rocks on the ocean floor are located where?
The youngest rocks on the ocean floor are located at mid-ocean ridges. These ridges are always found at divergent boundaries.
Where are the youngest oceanic rocks found?
At mid-ocean ridges which are divergent plate boundaries.
What rocks are found at transform boundaries?
At transform boundaries, two plates grind past each other with no loss of material from the lithosphere. Rocks found at these boundaries are peridotite and gabbro.
How does a volcano erupt at a convergent boundary?
As an oceanic plate sinks into the mantle at a convergent boundary it causes rocks to melt. Some of the newly formed magma will migrate upward to volcanoes, that have formed along the convergent boundaries, and erupt.
The youngest rocks on the ocean floor are located?
The youngest part of the ocean floor is found at conservative plate boundaries where oceanic crust is pulled apart and magma rises from the mantle to form new oceanic crust.
What are Two famous divergent boundaries?
the most famous divergent fault is the san Andreas faultEDIT: Actually, the San Andreas Fault is a Transform boundary. A Transform Boundary is when two plates are rubbing against each other while going opposite ways. A Divergent Boundary is when two plates move away from each other. Scientists have not pinpointed and named a Divergent Boundary but Divergent Boundaries usually occur under water in the sea, also called Sea Floor Spreading.
Would it be more likely for a major explosive eruption to occur at an ocean ridge or at a convergent ocean continental boundary?
it would be more likely to occur at convergent ocean-continental boundary beacuse the rocks are composed with a higher silica and has much thicker continental crust.
What states the youngest rocks of ocean floor are at a diverging boundaries moving outward?
seafloor spreading
What are the 3 plate boundaries describe each?
a) Divergent Plate Boundaries: Divergent plate boundaries are locations where plates are moving away from one another. This occurs above rising convection currents. b) Convergent Plate Boundaries: Convergent plate boundaries are locations where lithospheric plates are moving towards one another. The plate collisions that occur in these areas can produce earthquakes, volcanic activity and crustal deformation. c) Transform Boundary: Transform Plate Boundaries are locations where two plates slide past one another. The fracture zone that forms a transform plate boundary is known as a transform fault. Most transform faults are found in the ocean basin and connect offsets in the mid-ocean ridges.
Where are divergent boundarys found?
Divergent boundaries are found by the crystallization of rocks. They are also found by ingeneous rocks
Are the oldest rocks on land or in the ocean?
The oldest rocks are found on land.
