What else can I help you with?
What is it called when two lithospheric plates move apart?
Continental Plates
True or false When two continental plates converge Rift Valley forms?
False. A rift valley forms when continental plates diverge or pull apart. When two continental plates collide the result is a mountain range.
What causes two continental plates to diverge?
An earth quake. This happens because the vibrations force the plates apart
What forms when two crustal plates move apart?
an earthquake
What is it when two plates of the earth move apart?
separation zone.
When two plates move apart underwater what forms?
an earthquake
What happens when two continental plates move apart?
A rift valley form and around that rift valley a volcano could form also.
How are divergent plates different from convergent plates?
Divergent Boundaries happen when two plates (oceanic or contental) begin to diverge, or move apart. Convergent Boundaries occur when two plates (again, oceanic or contential) begin to converge or move apart
What does the pulling a part of continental plates create?
When continental plates pull apart, it creates a divergent boundary where two plates move away from each other. This can lead to the formation of rift valleys, volcanic activity, and the creation of new crust as magma rises to fill the gap between the separating plates.
What forms when two lithospheric plates move apart?
When two lithospheric plates move apart, a divergent boundary is formed. This process results in the creation of new oceanic crust as magma rises to fill the gap between the plates, forming a mid-ocean ridge.
What is the boundary between two plates that move apart?
divergent boundary
What is sliding boundary?
forms when two {crustal} lithosphere plates move apart.
