What else can I help you with?
Why do the tectonic plates move in the first place?
Tectonic plates move because of the heat and pressure from the Earth's core, causing convection currents in the mantle that push the plates apart or pull them together.
What landform is created when plates diverge (move apart)?
A mid-ocean ridge is formed when plates diverge or move apart. This is where new crust is created as magma rises to fill the gap created by the separating plates.
What do plates move apart along on?
Plates move apart along divergent boundaries, where new crust is created through volcanic activity and magma upwelling from the mantle. This process is called seafloor spreading and occurs primarily in mid-ocean ridges.
What forms when two lithospheric plates move apart?
When two lithospheric plates move apart, a divergent boundary is formed. This process results in the creation of new oceanic crust as magma rises to fill the gap between the plates, forming a mid-ocean ridge.
What spreads as the plates move apart?
Magma rises and solidifies to form new crust at mid-ocean ridges as tectonic plates move apart. This process is a key factor in the theory of plate tectonics.
What do plates move apart on?
Plates move apart on divergent plate boundaries.
Why do the tectonic plates move in the first place?
Tectonic plates move because of the heat and pressure from the Earth's core, causing convection currents in the mantle that push the plates apart or pull them together.
What do you get when the plates spread apart?
When the plates move apart they will more than likley create a large creak, Depending on how far they move apart. It would be a small creek.
What is it called when two lithospheric plates move apart?
Continental Plates
Where do plates move apart?
divergent boundarys
What is the name of the boundary were to plates of the earths crust move apart?
Constructive because new land is 'constructed'
How do lithosphere plates move where convection currents rise?
They move apart.
When two continental plates move apart?
earthquake!!!!!!
Do Earths Tetonic plates move apart?
Yes they do.
What boundry do plates move apart at?
Divergent boundary
When plates move apart it is known as what?
it is known as a earthquake
Plates move apart along what?
divergent boundary
