What else can I help you with?
A tectonic plate moving westward what geological effects would you expect to see on its northern edge?
1. If a plate moved westward, then in the westward side there would be a convergent boundary resulting in a trench. In the eastern side, there would be a divergent plate boundary resulting in a ridge. In the northern and southern side, there would be a transform fault.
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.
Has a volcano erupted in the mid-Atlantic ridge?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is an area of continuous underwater volcanism which is producing new oceanic crust.
Why does the Earth's size remains the same despite of what is happening at the mid-oceanic ridge?
An equal amount of oceanic crust is being subducted at the convergent plate boundaries as is being created at the mid-oceanic ridge.
What fault line does Kilauea sit on?
Mid Atlantic ridge or north atlantic ridge
What is the plate boundary of the mid-Atlantic ridge?
A divergent plate boundary.
Is the Atlantic Ocean the site of a spreading plate boundary?
Yes it is. It is home to the Mid-Atlantic ridge, a divergent plate boundary, where new crust (sea floor) is created. by your mom
What type of plate is the Mid Atlantic Ridge?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is not actually a tectonic plate, but a divergent boundary between plates where new oceanic crust is being created on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. To the north, it marks the boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the North American Plate. To the south, it separates the African Plate from the South American Plate.
What plate boundary separates the North American plate from the African plate?
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.
What type of plate is the Mid Atlantic Ridge where new crust is being made?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a divergent boundary where tectonic plates are moving away from each other. It is primarily associated with constructive plate margins where new crust is being created through seafloor spreading.
What type of plate boundary is associated with the mid Atlantic ridge?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) is a mid-ocean ridge, a divergent tectonic plate boundary located along the floor of the Atlantic Ocean, and part of thelongest mountain range in the world. It separates the Eurasian Plate and North American Plate in the North Atlantic, and the African Plate from the South American Plate in the South Atlantic. The Ridge extends from a junction with the Gakkel Ridge (Mid-Arctic Ridge) northeast of Greenland southward to theBouvet Triple Junction in the South Atlantic. Although the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is mostly an underwater feature, portions of it have enough elevation to extend above sea level. The section of the ridge which includes the island of Iceland is also known as the Reykjanes Ridge. The average spreading rate for the ridge is about 2.5 cm per year.[1]en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Atlantic_Ridge
What plate boundary is eyjafjallajokull on?
Eyjafjallajokull is located in Iceland on the Mid-Atlantic-Ridge which separates the North American and Eurasian plates.
What tectonic plates is surtsey on?
Surtsey is located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which is the boundary between the North American Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
Give an example of a divergent plate boundary.?
The North American-Eurasian Plate boundary.
Is the Atlantic Ocean the site of spreading plate boundaries?

What major plates correspond with the mid-Atlantic Ridge?
The North American and Eurasian Plates in the North Atlantic and the South American and African Plates in the South Atlantic border the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
