Mid Ocean Ridges (MOR's). Convection in the asthenosphere causes the plates to pull apart, and new molten earth from the asthenosphere fills the gaps. It occurs deep in the center of the oceans at several places.
It is called a divergent plate boundary.
Convergent on the western perimeter, divergent on the Easter perimeter.
Divergent boundary is formed
divergent boundary
The mid-ocean ridge system is the longest continuous divergent plate boundary on Earth.
The Divergent Boundaries.
Convergent plate boundary, divergent plate boundary and strike-slip (transform) plate boundary.
A divergent plate boundary.
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge separates the North American plate from the African plate. This ridge runs through the Atlantic Ocean and marks the boundary where the two plates are moving apart.
Divergent refers to a plate boundary where plates are moving apart. Plates are not referred to in terms of their boundary movements.
the direction divergent boundaries move from is away from each other.
No, Mount Cameroon is not on a divergent plate boundary. It is located on the African Plate near the boundary with the smaller Oku Plate to the northwest.
