What else can I help you with?
When two geologic plates are moving away from each other what can result?
Magma that turns into lava. A crack in the ground.
What types of geologic activities occur along a divergent boundary?
Where 2 plates are separating, moving away from each other and magma fills the space.
What geologic event is occurring at the Mid Atlantic Ridge?
Plates have always been moving away from each other there, so new crust is being formed there while the crust on the other side of those plates is being subducted into the mantle.
What happens on a divergent plate boundary?
the two plates are moving away from each other, and new crust is formed.
What happens when two plates are moving horizontally past each other?
When two plates are moving horizontally past each other, they slide past in opposite directions. This sliding motion is known as a transform boundary. Friction between the plates can build up stress, which is eventually released in the form of earthquakes.
What is the are where two tectonic plates meet?
The area where two tectonic plates meet is called a plate boundary. These boundaries can be divergent (moving apart), convergent (moving together), or transform (sliding past each other). Plate boundaries are dynamic and can result in various geologic phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain formation.
As the plates continue to grind against each otherwhat other geologic event could take place?
As the plates grind against each other, it can lead to earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges. The friction between the plates can cause stress to build up until it is released suddenly, resulting in these geologic events.
Can two plates moving away from each other form a volcano?
Yes, but no with each other. They can meet other plates.
If two geologic plates are sliding past each other they are at what boundary?
Transform boundary is when the plates are sliding past each other: ↑ ↓; Divergent is when plates are sliding away from each other: ← →; and convergent is when plates are sliding towards each other: → ←. Those are the three main plate boundaries.
Are most volcanoes on land caused by the Earth's plates moving away from each other or moving toward each other?
all volcanoes are caused by the earths plates moving toward each other and that is called convergent boundaries.
What is a possible result of plates moving along a transform boundary is?
a possible result of plates moving past each other is an earth quake
What does plates moving past each other cause?
Earthquakes.
