What do tectonic plates do at a divergent plate boundary?
At a divergent boundary tectonic plates move apart.
When tectonic plates pull apart?
Tectonic plates have been pulling apart forever. At least all the time the earth has been around.
What earth plates spread apart slowly?
Divergent plates are tectonic earth plates that spread slowly apart.
What boundary forms when tectonic plates pull apart?
The movement of tectonic plates in opposite directions is referred to as a divergent boundary.
What is a tectonic plate boundary?
The region where tectonic plates move toward, apart or horizontally past one another.
What pushes up continental crust?
the tectonic plates
What do tectonic plates do at a divergent plate boundary?
At a divergent boundary tectonic plates move apart.
Long crack that forms as two tectonic plates move apart?
Long crack that forms as two tectonic plates move apart
When tectonic plates pull apart?
Tectonic plates have been pulling apart forever. At least all the time the earth has been around.
Tectonic plates interact at what?
Tectonic plates interact at plate boundariesThey move apart at divergent boundaries
What earth plates spread apart slowly?
Divergent plates are tectonic earth plates that spread slowly apart.
What is the mechanism called that moves or drives the tectonic plates across the surface of the earth?
The way tectonic plates move is by the heat from the core that goes up to the mantle which pushes up the rock and pushes them together to form tectonic plates. Later the tectonic plates slowly go back down until the heat of the core reaches the mantle once again.
What are the differences between plate tectonic and tectonic plates?
Converging plates come together. They converge together. Diverging plates come apart.
What is it called when two tectonic plates pushes into each other?
Convergent Boundary
What word of kind of action pulls plates apart?
Tectonic plates, if it is the plates you are talking about, move because of Earth's interior. Recall that inside Earth is flowing lava that rises to the surface. That lava pushes the plates nearest it so it can make place for itself.
What boundary forms when tectonic plates pull apart?
The movement of tectonic plates in opposite directions is referred to as a divergent boundary.
Im the gap that forms as tectonic plates move apart?
Oceanic trenches are the gaps which form when the tectonic plates move apart. They are the very deepest parts of the ocean.
