What type of plate movement occurs when two oceanic plates pull apart?
Diverging Plate Boundary
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
New crust forms when or where?
where two plates pull apart from each other at oceanic ridges
This type of boundary forms when two plates pull apart.?
Divergent plate boundaries form once two plates begin to pull apart from each other.
Where would two plates move apart at mid-oceanic ridges?
at a divergent plate boundary
Which boundary do two plates pull apart?
Divergent plate boundary
What is when two oceanic plates move apart and new crust is formed?
When two oceanic plates move apart, a divergent boundary is created. As they separate, magma rises from the mantle to fill the gap, solidifying and forming new oceanic crust. This process is known as seafloor spreading and occurs along mid-ocean ridges.
When two ocean plates pull apart it is called what?
When to plates pull apart on the ocean floor it's called "Tectonic Plate Drift or, "Contenetial Drift." This allows countries to move centimeters every year in any direction the plate travel. Sometimes the plates rub and can cause earthquakes ,volcanos or tsunamis.
What does the rift valley along a mid ocean ridge mark?
The rift valley along a mid-ocean ridge marks where tectonic plates are moving apart. As the plates separate, magma rises to fill the gap, creating new oceanic crust. This process is known as seafloor spreading.
What trenches cause?
The thing that causes oceanic trenches would be two ocean plates pulling apart. This would leave a space in between the plates that is the trench.
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 crack in the earth that's open when two plates pull apart?
Those are earthquakes
