The older denser plate subducts
What else can I help you with?
What causes two continental plates to diverge?
An earth quake. This happens because the vibrations force the plates apart
When 2 continental plates diverge a forms.?
When two continental plates diverge, a rift valley forms due to the pulling apart of the Earth's crust. Magma rises to fill the gap created by the separating plates, eventually leading to the formation of new oceanic crust. Over time, this process can result in the formation of a new ocean basin.
What is it called when plates diverge on land?
tectonic plates
What happens when oceanic and continental plates diverge?
Sea bed spreading.
Oceanic plates diverge?
When oceanic plates diverge an underwater earthquake is the result. Oceanic earthquakes often result in disastrous Tsunamis.
What occurs when two plates diverge?
A rift.
Long cracks where plates diverge?
rift
What landform is created when plates diverge (move apart)?
A mid-ocean ridge is formed when plates diverge or move apart. This is where new crust is created as magma rises to fill the gap created by the separating plates.
When 2 continental plates diverge what forms?
When two continental plates diverge, a rift valley is formed as the Earth's crust splits apart. Magma rises to the surface and creates new crust, eventually leading to the formation of a mid-ocean ridge.
What is long crack where plates diverge?
Itis called a rift.
When two continental plates diverge a transforms boundary forms?
no
How are plates moving at diverging boundaries?
To diverge means to move apart.
