Tectonic plates divide
What else can I help you with?
What type of movement occurs at plate boundaries?
Convergent,Divergent, and Transform Boundaries
Ocean trench occurs at what boundary?
Divergent boundaries.
What type of movement occurs at divergent boundaries?
I cant
What is the movement that occurs at each type of boundaries?
divergent boundry
Is subduction common at divergent plate boundaries?
No, subduction is not common at divergent plate boundaries. Divergent plate boundaries are characterized by plates moving away from each other, which creates new oceanic crust. Subduction occurs at convergent plate boundaries where plates collide and one descends beneath the other.
How are oceanic ridges form?
divergent boundaries
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 types of plate boundaries are There?
There are divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
What happens divergent boundaries?
divergent boundaries happen when 2 plates move apart or divide
Where are most divergent boundaries found?
On the seafloor. Yes, the mid oceanic ridges are all divergent boundaries.
At what four plate boundary types does metamorphism occur?
Metamorphism typically occurs at convergent boundaries, where tectonic plates collide, and at divergent boundaries, where plates move apart. It also occurs at transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other horizontally. Metamorphism can also occur at hot spots, where magma from the mantle rises to the surface.
