What else can I help you with?
How do you use divergent boundaries in a sentence?
the divergent bounday forms new crust
What are features forms at divergent boundaries?
volcanoes and earthquakes
New crust forms what kind of new boundaries?
New crust forms at divergent boundaries, where tectonic plates move away from each other. This process can occur in oceanic or continental crust.
What forms mid-ocean valleys?
Divergent, one of the three Plate boundaries.
How are oceanic ridges form?
divergent boundaries
What plate boundaries are where the crust forms?
Mid-ocean ridges are divergent plate boundaries where new oceanic crust forms as tectonic plates move apart. At these boundaries, magma rises from the mantle, cooling and solidifying to create new crust.
What happens to magma divergent boundaries?
At divergent boundaries, two plates move apart from each other and the space that this creates is filled with new crustal material sourced from molten magma that forms below.
What kinds of magmas forms at divergent boundaries?
Usually a dense basaltic magma with low water content.
How are convergent boundaries different from divergent boundries?
convergent boundaries collide but divergent boundaries move away from each other.
What type igneous rock is produced at a divergent zone?
Basalt is the type of igneous rock commonly produced at divergent plate boundaries. This rock forms from the solidification of magma that rises to the Earth's surface through the process of seafloor spreading, which occurs at divergent boundaries.
What happens divergent boundaries?
divergent boundaries happen when 2 plates move apart or divide
Is true or false oceanic lithosphere is created at divergent boundaries?
Yes; at divergent/constructive boundaries, plates move apart and new oceanic lithosphere forms.
