What is the land forms produced underwater caused by the movement of oceanic plate?
Mid oceanic ridges and deep sea trenches.
What is caused the sea movement?
It is caused by earth quake.
Is the red sea getting bigger or smaller?
Yes, the Red Sea is continuously spreading which results in the subsidence of the seafloor. Therefore, the depth is going to increase.
What type plate boundaries form the red sea?
The red sea is a young divergent plate boundary, otherwise known as a rift zone.
What are three types of convergent boundary movements and formations?
1. Continent plate/sea floor plate subduction 2. sea floor plate/sea floor plate subduction 3. strike/slip movement

Witch 2 plates formed the rift valley that the Red Sea now occupies?
African Plate and Arabian Plate
