This often produces a mid-ocean ridge, where magma welling up from deep below reaches the sea bed and solidifies.

What force occurs where Earth's plates are moving apart?
Tectonic forces (earthquakes, volcanoes...)
What causes tectonic plate to be pulled apart?

What type of stress occurs when members are pulled apart?
dingleberries
What fault occurs when tectonic plates pull apart from one another and tensional stress is placed on rock layers?
normal fault occurs...odyssey
What is the name of the process that breaks continents apart?
Plate tectonics. Sub layers called tectonic plates lie underneath continents move, shift, and grind against or away from each other. The actual process of pulling apart is called diverging. The super-continent Pangaea is an example of a continent that was pulled apart. First it was pulled apart into two continents that are called Laurasia and Gondwana and then was pulled farther apart into the world that we see today.

Is it true that rocks an be pulled apart by the movement of tectonic plates?
Yes. Tectonic plates are extremely strong and catastrophic in some cases.

When would you be pulled apart if you fell into a black hole?
Not pulled apart but RIPPED apart to shred's.
What kind of boundary occurs when tectonic plates move apart from one another?
Divergent boundary, i think cause if you look at it apart from another divergent means pull apart and convergent means to come together, but its the closest one.
Some forces push two atoms apart while other forces pull them together Which two subatomic particles would cause atoms to be pushed apart and which particles would cause atoms to be pulled together?
because i dont really know
