What else can I help you with?
What are plate boundaries that move away form each other?
divergent
At what type of plate boundary is new ocean crust formed?
Older material
Do divergent boundaries cause the formation of mountains?
No, divergent boundaries do not cause the formation of mountains. Instead, mountains are typically formed at convergent boundaries where tectonic plates collide. Divergent boundaries are where plates move away from each other, creating rifts and oceanic ridges.
Where do most divergent boundaries occur?
divergent boundaries mostly occur when 2 tectonic plates move apart from each other and this is due to the currents movement. On earth, the form drift vallies and fault. Example can be san andreas fault on western side of united state of america.
The mid-ocean ridge occur along transform boundaries?
The mid-ocean ridge does not occur along transform boundaries. It is a divergent boundary where two tectonic plates move apart, allowing magma to rise up and create new oceanic crust. Transform boundaries are where plates slide past each other horizontally.
Where can divergent divergent boundary be found?
Most divergent boundaries can be found on the ocean floor. divergent boundaries create Rift Valleys An example of this is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge discovered by Harry Hess.
What are plate boundaries that move away form each other?
divergent
What do under ocean divergent boundaries create?
it makes mid-oceanic ridges
How are oceanic ridges form?
divergent boundaries
New crust forms what kind of new boundaries?
New crust forms at divergent boundaries, where tectonic plates move away from each other. This process can occur in oceanic or continental crust.
How are convergent boundaries different from divergent boundries?
convergent boundaries collide but divergent boundaries move away from each other.
Is volcanism found at convergent and divergent boundaries of tectonic plates?
Yes, volcanism is found at both convergent and divergent boundaries of tectonic plates. At convergent boundaries, subduction zones can result in the formation of volcanoes due to the melting of subducted crust. At divergent boundaries, magma rises to the surface to create new crust, leading to volcanic activity as seen in mid-ocean ridges.
Do divergent plate boundaries only occur on the ocean floor?
No, divergent plate boundaries can occur both on the ocean floor and on land. When they occur on the ocean floor, they create mid-ocean ridges, while on land they can create rift valleys.
What happens divergent boundaries?
divergent boundaries happen when 2 plates move apart or divide
Divergent plate boundaries can create what two things?
they create trenches underwater, valleies and other things like the Great Rift Valley of the Marianis Thrench
At what type of plate boundary is new ocean crust formed?
Older material
Where are most divergent boundaries found?
On the seafloor. Yes, the mid oceanic ridges are all divergent boundaries.
