What else can I help you with?
When two continental plates diverge a transforms boundary forms?
no
Is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge located where two plates collide or are stationary?
None of the above. Where two plates diverge.
Does a rift valley form when two continental plates diverge?
yes it does
What causes two continental plates to diverge?
An earth quake. This happens because the vibrations force the plates apart
What is it called when plates diverge on land?
tectonic plates
When two continental plates diverge does a transform boundary form?
No, when two continental plates diverge, a divergent boundary forms, not a transform boundary. At a divergent boundary, the plates move away from each other, leading to the formation of rift valleys or mid-ocean ridges. Transform boundaries occur where two plates slide past each other horizontally.
What kind of fault occurs at the divergent plate boundaries?
A normal
When 2 continental plates diverge a forms.?
When two continental plates diverge, a rift valley forms due to the pulling apart of the Earth's crust. Magma rises to fill the gap created by the separating plates, eventually leading to the formation of new oceanic crust. Over time, this process can result in the formation of a new ocean basin.
Oceanic plates diverge?
When oceanic plates diverge an underwater earthquake is the result. Oceanic earthquakes often result in disastrous Tsunamis.
When two Continenal plates diverge what landforms are made?
When two Continental plates diverge, landforms like rift valleys and mid-ocean ridges are created. Rift valleys form on land where the plates are separating, while mid-ocean ridges are underwater mountain ranges that form in the ocean.
Long cracks where plates diverge?
rift
What happens if two tectonic plates spread?
When two tectonic plates spread apart, a process known as seafloor spreading occurs, typically at mid-ocean ridges. As the plates diverge, magma from the mantle rises to fill the gap, creating new oceanic crust. This process can lead to the formation of underwater volcanoes and rift valleys. Additionally, the movement of the plates can trigger earthquakes along the spreading boundaries.
