When 2 continental plates diverge, a __ forms.
divergent boundaries
rift valley Answer 2 Continents are formed when continental plates pull apart.
1. oceanic-continental 2. oceanic-oceanic 3. continental-continental
the earth is made up of different plates and all the plates are different sizes, shapes and weight. there are 2 types of plates, oceanic and continental. a mountain is formed when 2 continental plates of the same weight collide into each other, it creates a mountain and the oceanic plates underneath them are pused down.
the biggest continent is Asia and the second largest is Antarctica
divergent boundaries
When two continental plates collide they buckle up and fold forming mountains.
The older denser plate subducts
Oceanic-continental convergence (when an oceanic plate meets a continental plate) & oceanic-oceanic convergence (2 oceanic plates) both involve oceanic plates & subduction. Continental-continental convergence (2 continental plates) involves neither.

Tectonic plates colliding generally form mountains.
