What are plates called if they move apart from each other?
Divergent Boundaries
What are the general ways that plates move or interact?
They either slide apart or slide together. If they slide apart, over millions of years they form oceans or things like the grand canyon. If they collide they form mountains and volcanos. They bump into each other and move away.
Why are the pacific plates and the antarctic plates moving away from each other?
Because over time plate tectonics move apart. they either move apart, collide, or slide against each other. it's like the San Andreas fault those plates are moving away from each other.
When plates move apart from each other in opposite directions what is it called?
Divergent plate movement.
What is the difference between convergent and divergent and transform boundaries?
Divergent boundaries- Plates move apart from each other Convergent boundaries- Plates compress against each other Transform boundaries- Plates move past each other
What happens when two plates move apart from each other?
what happends when to plates move apart they make volcanos
What theory that continents move apart form each other?
The action of continents drifting apart from each other is called, "Continental Drift". It is no longer a theory, as it has been proven to be so. Of course, as certain continents move apart from each other, they also are moving closer to other continents.

Divergent Boundaries

Do the continents fit together like the pieces of a puzzle?
yes, they do but in time they move apart from each other
What is the type of boundary where the plates slide apart from each other?
well there are 3 types of plat movementthere is Divergent which is when they move apart from each other ()Another s Convergent which is when the come together head on(->
Friction is created when things slide or what over each other?
Move
