Which type of mountain forms because of a divergent plate boundary?
Fault-block mountains form due to divergent boundary plates.
What are plate boundaries that move away form each other?
divergent
What type of motion occurred between the two plates?
A convergent boundary can form between two plates and a divergent boundary can be created between two plates, then two plates rubbing together create earthquakes, many are very minor. A convergent boundary is two plates pushing together to form a mountain, hill, or volcano. Divergent plates move apart and create canyons and stuff.
A divergent boundary within a continent forms what?
A divergent boundary cannot exist "Within" a continent by definition. Divergent boundaries form as two continents move away from each other, forming rift valleys and mid-oceanic ridges.
Which of the mountain chains form a boundary with the Canadian shield?
The Appalachian mountain.
Which type of mountain forms because of a divergent plate boundary?
Fault-block mountains form due to divergent boundary plates.
What boundary does a rift valley form at?
A divergent boundary.
What boundary does new crust form at?
Divergent plate boundary.
What type of boundary form a volcanic mountain range near a coastline?
They form on convergent boundaries.
What are plate boundaries that move away form each other?
divergent
What is the name of the mountain range that form a natural border between France and Spain?
Nature has provided the Pyrenees Mountains as the boundary between France and Spain.
When two continental plates converge a rift valley form?
No. Continental convergent plate boundaries form fold mountain ranges. A rift valley will form at a divergent plate boundary.
What are two tectonic plates pulling away called?
Divergent plates. They form a divergent plate boundary.
Does a rift valley form along a colliding boundary?
No, it would form along a separating (divergent) tectonic plate boundary.
When two continental plates converge does a rift valley forms?
No. Continental convergent plate boundaries form fold mountain ranges. A rift valley will form at a divergent plate boundary.
What does a mid ocean ridge form along?
A divergent plate boundary
Where is the divergent plate boundary?
they form around mid-ocean ridges
