When two plates diverge what happens?
The tectonic plates are moving apart from each other. The gap created by plates that are moving away from each other is filled in by new crust, created from the solidification of lava which is derived from the decompression melting of rising mantle rock.
Boundary between two plates that are moving apart?
Convergent: plates move into one another.Divergent: plates move apart.Transform: plates move sideways in relation to each other.
What is another word for tectonic plates?
moving plates
What causes plates to stop moving temporarily?
Friction causes plates to stop moving temporarily. The motion of the magma under the plates will cause the plates to move again.
Do the continental plates remain in one place?
No, both the continental and oceanic plates are always moving. Moving slowly, but always moving.
What are two plates moving away known as?
Divergent plates
What are moving pieces under the earths surface that form the earths crust?
The answer is tectonic plates floating on the lithosphere. Does that answer your question? LOL :)
What happens when two continental plates?
If the plates are moving together from opposite directions, the colliding edges will uplift into mountain ranges. If the plates are moving apart, a rift valley will form. If the plates are moving together at oblique angles, a fault zone will occur.
What is the relationship between platetectonics and seafloor spreading?
Plate tectonics is the theory that earth is made of plates that move slowly. Sea floor spreading is related to this because the split created in the sea floor is created by the plates moving apart.
Plates and the rocks that compose them are moving apart at these places?
diverging plates
What are the kind of large plates of earth that keep moving?
