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.
What type of plate boundary is the Atlantic-Indian Ridge?
convergent boundary. cuz it is ridge
What type of fault line is the mid-Atlantic ridge?
no the mid- Atlantic ridge is a transform 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 type of plate is the Mid Atlantic Ridge where new crust is being made?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge represents a divergent plate boundary.
What is an example of a divergent plate boundary and a transform plate boundary?
Divergent plate boundary: Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Transform plate boundary: San Andreas Fault.
WhAT Mid-Atlantic is a plate boundary?
the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a divergent plate boundary, meaning the two plates are moving away from each other.
The mid atlantic ridge is an example of what?
A constructive/divergent plate boundary
Is the Atlantic Ocean the site of a spreading plate boundaries?
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

Give an example of a divergent plate boundary.?
The North American-Eurasian Plate boundary.
