Magma gushes out of the earth and then it cools and becomes a volcano.

What is a tensional boundary?
Tensional boundary is the meeting zone of two tectonic plates at a normal fault; the plates move apart
At which type of boundary do plates move apart?
divergent transform, or convergent
What is it called when two plates are pulling apart in the middle of a continent?
divergent boundary
Do plates pulling apart cause volcanoes?
no but coliding plates create volcanoes
At which type(s) of plate boundary do earth earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes happen when a rock face along the fault line gives way or grinds against the other side. These are not boundaries such as convergent or divergen boundaries but are generally known as transform faults or just faults.
What spreads as the plates move apart?
earthquakes
What do tectonic plates do at a divergent plate boundary?
At a divergent boundary tectonic plates move apart.
What is the boundary between two plates that move apart?
divergent boundary
Which boundary do two plates pull apart?
Divergent plate boundary
What is a type of boundary where two plates put apart?
A divergant plate boundary.
What is is the boundary when two plates that are moving apart?
It is called a divergent plate boundary.
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 do Plates move apart along?
divergent boundary
What boundry do plates move apart at?
Divergent boundary
Plates move apart along what?
divergent boundary
What boundary forms when tectonic plates pull apart?
The movement of tectonic plates in opposite directions is referred to as a divergent boundary.
What is a tensional boundary?
Tensional boundary is the meeting zone of two tectonic plates at a normal fault; the plates move apart
