The Divergent Boundaries.
What creates an ocean trench?
A convergent boundary between a continental plate and an oceanic plate
What type of plate boundary creates a deep ocean trench along the edge of a continent?
A convergent plate boundary creates a deep ocean trench along the edge of a continent. In this boundary type, an oceanic plate is forced beneath a continental plate, leading to the formation of the trench due to subduction.
When an oceanic plate moves under another plate the bending of the sinking plate creates a?
this is a destructive plate boundary. An earthquake and a vocano is created
What is the name of a plate boundary were plates move sideways?
A transform plate boundary is where plates move sideways past each other. This movement typically creates strike-slip faults.
Is transform the tectonic plate boundary of mount Erebus?
Mount Erebus is located on the boundary of the Antarctic Plate and the Pacific Plate. The movement of these plates against each other creates a convergent boundary, where the Pacific Plate is being forced beneath the Antarctic Plate. This process, known as subduction, is responsible for the volcanic activity at Mount Erebus.
Why is Hawaii located not at a plate boundary?
Hawaii is located in the middle of the Pacific Plate, which is a stable tectonic plate. The Hawaiian Islands were formed by a hot spot underneath the plate, where magma rises and creates volcanic islands as the tectonic plate moves over it. This is why Hawaii is not located at a plate boundary, such as a divergent or convergent boundary.
What plate boundary is the boundary at which plates collide or come together?
The plate boundary at which plates collide or come together is called a convergent boundary. At convergent boundaries, one plate is typically forced beneath the other in a process known as subduction. This collision can lead to the formation of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic activity.
Which convergent plate boundry does not include a subduction zone and why?
The plate boundary is continental - continental. This creates mountains and earthquakes, but one plate doesn't go under the other
What type of plate boundary creates a mid ocean ridge?
A divergent plate boundary creates a mid-ocean ridge. This occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other, leading to the upwelling of magma from the mantle, creating new oceanic crust at the mid-ocean ridge.
