What type of plate boundary occurs between the Nazca and South American Plate?
A convergent plate boundary occurs between the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate. The Nazca Plate is subducting beneath the South American Plate, leading to the formation of the Andes mountain range.
The type of plate boundary where plates move apart resulting in upwelling of material from the mantle to create new sea-floor is known as what plate boundary?
Mid-Atlantic Trench
What type of boundary is the east pacific ridge?
The East Pacific Rise is a divergent plate boundary where tectonic plates are moving apart. This boundary is associated with seafloor spreading and the creation of new oceanic crust.
According to the theory of sea floor spreading new rock is added to the plates at?
...at constructive plate margins / boundaries.hence the term contructive, new crust is "contructed" here.(and destructed at a destructive plate margin / boundary / subduction zone.)
What is a consecutive plate boundary?
A consecutive plate boundary is a boundary where two or more tectonic plates interact one after another. This can lead to a series of different tectonic processes such as subduction, transform faulting, and spreading. An example of a consecutive plate boundary is the boundary between the Pacific Plate, North American Plate, and Juan de Fuca Plate in the western United States.
What does the presence of the sea floor spreading indicate?
a divergent plate boundary.
What boundary type is sea floor spreading?
These ridges are spreading centers or divergent plate boundaries
How does new oceanic crust from at a divergent plate boundary?
Sea-Floor Spreading is your answer.
What is the other name for a spreading plate boundary?
Divergent boundaries is the other name for a spreading 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
The place where sea floor spreading occurs and the third letter is e?
Oceanic Plate
What is the difference between a mid oceanic ridge and a subduction zone?
A subduction zone occurs at convergent plate margins where an oceanic plate is going underneath a continental plate or a less dense oceanic plate. A mid-ocean ridge is a divergent plate boundary on the ocean floor with a mountain range and a rift running through the center of it. Sea floor spreading also occurs at mid ocean ridges.
What kind of plate boundary separates the arctic plate and the Pacific Plate?
Divergent Plate Boundary. (Seafloor Spreading).
What is the fastest spreading divergent plate boundary?
The mid-ocean ridge system is the longest continuous divergent plate boundary on Earth.
How do you use sea-floor spreading in a sentence?
The Super Continent was broken apart, in part by sea-floor spreading.Scientists discovered that sea-floor spreading continues to move the continents.Sea-floor spreading can be measured using specialized equipment.
What type of boundary occurs in the new ocean floor?
Divergent boundary occurs in the new ocean floor where tectonic plates move away from each other, allowing magma to rise up and form new crust. This process is known as seafloor spreading and leads to the creation of mid-ocean ridges.
Place where seafloor spreading occurs?
Seafloor spreading occurs at the boundary between two tectonic plates. As the plates divide, magma comes up through the crack and cools to form new sea floor. The farther away the floor is from the boundary, the older it is.
