What A crack in the Earth's crust caused by tectonic plate movement is called a?
It is a rift zone or a divergent boundary. plus. no offense to that person that uploaded the previous answer.
What caused the 2004 indoneisan tsunami - a divergent convergent or transform plate movement?
The 2004 Indonesian tsunami was caused by a megathrust earthquake along a subduction zone, which involves a convergent plate movement. The Indian Plate subducted beneath the Burma Plate, generating a massive underwater earthquake that resulted in the tsunami.
A rift valley is evidence of which plate boundary?
A rift valley is evidence of a divergent plate boundary, where two tectonic plates are moving away from each other. This movement creates a gap in the Earth's crust, resulting in the formation of a rift valley.
At what type of plate boundary is new ocean crust formed?
Older material
What plate boundary and movement commonly create ridges?
Mid-ocean ridges are commonly created at divergent plate boundaries where tectonic plates move away from each other. This movement allows magma to rise from the mantle, solidify, and form new crust, leading to the formation of underwater mountain ranges known as mid-ocean ridges.
What type of plate movement forms volcanoes in iceland?
Divergent plate movement.
The ocean floor is spreading due to .?
divergent plate movement
The ocean floor is spreading due to what?
divergent plate movement
What are three types of tectonic plate movement?
Divergent. Convergent. Transform.
Types of plate movements?
Tectonic movement.
What type of movement occurs at plate boundaries?
Convergent,Divergent, and Transform Boundaries
What is a boundary where 2 plates move apart?
It is called a divergent plate boundary.
What are the three types of plate bounderies?
the three types of plate boundaries are : -convergent plate boundaries -divergent plate boundaries -transformed plate boundaries
What are the types of movement between plates?
There are three basic plate movement types, first there is convergent movement. Secondly, there is divergent movement and lastly there is transform movements.
Is the volcano hekla along convergent or divergent plate boundaries?
Hekla volcano is located along a divergent plate boundary in Iceland, where the North American and Eurasian plates are moving apart. This movement creates rift zones where volcanic activity is common, including Hekla.
What are three plate motions?
There are actually 4 types.....1.convergent-two plates pushing toward each other2.divergent-Two plates moving apart3.subduction-one plate is pulled under the edge of another4.Transform\lateral-Two plates slide past each other
What are the 3 ways of plate movement?
That is easy there are acctuaslly 4 they are convergent,covergent subduction, divergent, and transform.
