At a divergent plate boundary new crust is created as two or more plates pull away from each other. An example of a rift where land between two continents are being pulled apart is the Great Rift Valley.

What is a boundary between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other?
divergent boundary
Tectonic plates move apart in opposite directions at a?
Its is Divergent Boundary, because it is moving Apart from each other. Convergent is moving together. convergent boundary
The boundary between two plates moving together is called a?
Convergent boundary's.
Which tectonic plate boundary is Cali in Columbia located near?
It is located near the boundary between the South American and Nazca plates.
When two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally the boundary between them is called?

What is a boundary between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other?
divergent boundary
Is oil the boundary between tectonic plates?
no
What is the difference between a tectonic hazard and a tectonic event?
a tectonic hazard is a disaster caused by the moving of tectonic plates.....anda tectonic activity is the moving of tectonic plates........
What direction is the Philippine Mobile belt moving?
It's staying still. A mobile belt is the tectonic boundary between plates.
Is the moving portion of earth's crust and upper mantle called a ridge?
Not quite. These are known as tectonic plates. A (mid ocean) ridge is a type of boundary between differing tectonic plates which are diverging or moving away from each other..
What is convergent plate boundary and what are the plates doing?
A convergent plate boundary is a place where tectonic plates are moving together. The plates are sliding across the the plastic asthenosphere.
Why does magma often form at the boundary between separating tectonic plates?
the tectonic plates move and the lava rises
What is a sentence for tranforms boundary?
The earthquake tranforms boundary between the two tectonic plates.
The difference between a transform and convergent boundary?
Convergent Boundary is a result of two tectonic plates colliding. Divergent boundary is the process where to tectonic plates move away from each other. if two tectonic plates move away from each other (diverge), each will collide with another plate (converge) on the opposite side of the divergent boundary, forming a convergent boundary with another tectonic plate.
What do tectonic plates form when they converge?
Convergent tectonic plates are plates that are moving toward each other.
What do tectonic plates do at a divergent plate boundary?
At a divergent boundary tectonic plates move apart.
Distinguish between converging and diverging tectonic plates in a table form?
The Earth's crust is broken up into several lithospheric or tectonic plates. These plates are constantly moving atop the Earth's mantle (semi-solid layer of molten rocks). Based upon their motion, tectonic plates are referred to as converging or diverging. Converging tectonic plates move towards each other and form convergent boundary. Diverging tectonic plates move away from each other and form divergent boundary.
