When two plates move away from one another we have a?
It creates a divergent boundary.
At a divergent boundary what feature forms when two oceanic plates are involved?
A mid-ocean ridge forms at a divergent boundary when two oceanic plates move apart. This boundary is characterized by the upwelling of magma from the mantle, which solidifies to create new oceanic crust. This process results in the formation of a continuous underwater mountain range.
A boundary is formed when plates separate.?
Actually, a boundary is typically formed between plates when they move past each other horizontally. This type of boundary is called a transform plate boundary. When plates separate, they form a divergent boundary, where new crust is created as magma rises and solidifies at the mid-ocean ridge.
At what type of plate boundary is new ocean crust formed?
Older material
Which type of mountain forms because of a divergent plate boundary?
A rift valley forms due to a divergent plate boundary. As the plates move apart, the crust stretches and thins, creating a depression that can eventually develop into a valley with steep walls. An example of a rift valley formed by a divergent boundary is the East African Rift.
What type of boundary is formed when plate separate?
Divergent boundary is formed
What boundary is it called when new crust is being formed?
Divergent Boundary, (Constructive Boundary).
What is the type of boundary formed when plates separate?
Divergent Boundary :D
Where new crust is formed?
New crust is formed at a divergent boundary
When two plates move away from one another we have a?
It creates a divergent boundary.
What plate boundary formed lake Victoria in Africa?
spreading or divergent boundary
What type boundary is formed when plates separate?
A divergent plate boundary (ridge)
When the ridge in the middle of the Atlantic ocean formed along what boundary?
Divergent boundary
What is formed when tectonic plates separate?
a divergent boundary
What land form feature generally marks a divergent plate boundary?
The landform feature that generally marks a divergent plate boundary is the plate tectonic. This is mainly responsible for the changes on the surface of the earth.Ê
Is the Alps a divergent boundary?
No, the Alps are not a divergent boundary. The Alps are a mountain range formed from the collision of the African and Eurasian tectonic plates, a result of convergent boundary activity.
What type of boundary is along ocean ridges?
Constructive or divergent. The ridge formed is of basaltic rock type (though this is a generalisation), and is a source of volcanic activity. Iceland was formed as a result of the sea-floor spreading.
