Tensional stress
What else can I help you with?
What type of boundary occurs between the max a plate and the South American plate?
Convergent on the western perimeter, divergent on the Easter perimeter.
What is a boundary where 2 plates move apart?
It is called a divergent plate boundary.
What type of plate boundary occurs west of the Andes?
Divergent
What type of boundary occurs at the Great Rift Valley in Africa?
divergent plate boundary
What types of stress occurs at divergent plate boundarys?
Tensional stress
What type of plate occurs between north America and Eurasian plate?
divergent boundary
What is stress at a divergent plate boundary called?
Stress at a divergent plate boundary is called tensional stress. This stress creates pulling forces that lead to the plates moving away from each other, resulting in the formation of new oceanic crust.
What types of stress are present at divergent plate boundaries?
divergent plate boundaries are associated with normal faulting. Thus there is a horizontal least compressive stress, vertical most compressive stress and a intermediate horizontal stress. All stresses are orthoganal to each other.
What type of boundary is formed when plate separate?
Divergent boundary is formed
What do you call the plate boundary where plates are moving away from each other?
divergent boundary
What type of plate occurs between the nazca plate and South American plate?
It forms a convergent boundary with the South American Plate, divergent.
What is the fastest spreading divergent plate boundary?
The mid-ocean ridge system is the longest continuous divergent plate boundary on Earth.
