What is oceanic plates?
it keeps the ocean and valcanos away from each other i think
Are the pacific plates and the antarctic plates moving towards each other or away from each other or past each other?
the plates are moving away from each other.
What are the stages of rift valley formation?
it is formed when two oceanic plates diverge away from each other, the lithosphere is pulled or torn apart :))))))))))))))))))))))))) XXXXXXXXXXDDDDDDDDDD
The type of boundary where two plates slide horizontally past each other?
oceanic/contintal
New crust forms when or where?
where two plates pull apart from each other at oceanic ridges

What feature results from two oceanic plates pulling away from each other?
trench
When two geologic plates are moving away from each other what happens?
When it is two continental plates, new oceanic crust is formed, and when this continues, more oceanic crust is formed between the plates.
What oceanic landform is most likely to be found where two plates are moving away from each other?
Rift Zone
What are types of convergents boundaries?
Converging (destructive) plate boundary: where two plates collide. Diverging (constructive) plate boundary: where two plates move away from each other. Transform plate boundary: where two plates move, or grind, past each other. Like the boundary in California.
What are three types of convergent boundaries?
Converging (destructive) plate boundary: where two plates collide. Diverging (constructive) plate boundary: where two plates move away from each other. Transform plate boundary: where two plates move, or grind, past each other. Like the boundary in California.

What happens when 2 oceanic plates and 2 continental plates move towards each other?
when 2 oceanic plates move toward(converge)each other they form a lain of VOLCANIC ISLAND ARC.when 2 continenatl plates move toward(converge)each other they form MOUNTAIN BUILDING.

What are divergent boundaries?
Divergent boundaries are areas where continental or oceanic plates are moving away from each other and creating new crust. Examples would be the Mid-Oceanic Ridge and the East African Rift Zone.
Why does earth size remain the same in spite of the movement of plates away from each other at oceanic ridges?
do anti-viral drugs developed for aids work on other virus
