What causes two continental plates to diverge?
An earth quake. This happens because the vibrations force the plates apart
This type of boundary forms when two plates pull apart.?
Divergent plate boundaries form once two plates begin to pull apart from each other.
What happens when the plates move apart towards and slide past?
When two plates move apart it forms a hole but new crust is formed.
What happens when two tectonic plates move apart?
Magma seeps up through the two plates from the mantle and form volcanos.
What are the two plates inside the earth called?
If you are thinking of tectonic plates then there are more than two.
Where do two of the earth's plates split apart?
The Mid-Atlantic-Ridge is where two of Earth's plates split apart. The Mid-Atlantic-Ridge was formed along a divergent boundary where seafloor spreading is taking place.
What is it when two plates of the earth move apart?
separation zone.
What causes two continental plates to diverge?
An earth quake. This happens because the vibrations force the plates apart
What is the crack in the earth that's open when two plates pull apart?
Those are earthquakes
What is it called when two plates are pulling apart?
plates puled apart
Where is a earthquakes?
Earthquakes usually occur around faultlines or plate boundaries because that's where plates split apart a long time ago. When two plates collide they form earthquakes.
When the earth plates move apart what happens?
when two plate moves apart from each other the intrusion of magma has been take place from mantle
What kind of mountains are formed when two plates drift apart and magma builds up on the crust of the earth?
volcanoes
What does it mean if a plate boundary is divergent?
When two tectonic plates are diverging, that means that they are coming apart. Depending whether or not they are oceanic plates or continental plates, the outcome will be different. If two oceanic plates diverge, a rift valley will occur in the ocean; if the same is with continental plates an rift vally will occur on the continent.
A crack in the earth opened when two plates pull apart?
The correct answer would be rift. If you looked at the crossword puzzle it showed you the answer.
Why does a volcano form at the boundary of two plates moving apart?
A volcano will form at the boundary of two plates moving apart. This is because the two plates moving apart create a crack allowing molten lava to flow up from the mantle.
What is it called when two lithospheric plates move apart?
Continental Plates
