When two continental plates diverge a transforms boundary forms?

no


When 2 continental plates diverge a forms.?

When two continental plates diverge, a rift valley forms due to the pulling apart of the Earth's crust. Magma rises to fill the gap created by the separating plates, eventually leading to the formation of new oceanic crust. Over time, this process can result in the formation of a new ocean basin.


When 2 continental plates diverge what forms?

When two continental plates diverge, a rift valley is formed as the Earth's crust splits apart. Magma rises to the surface and creates new crust, eventually leading to the formation of a mid-ocean ridge.


Oceanic plates diverge?

When oceanic plates diverge an underwater earthquake is the result. Oceanic earthquakes often result in disastrous Tsunamis.


When two continental plates diverge does a transform boundary form?

No, when two continental plates diverge, a divergent boundary forms, not a transform boundary. At a divergent boundary, the plates move away from each other, leading to the formation of rift valleys or mid-ocean ridges. Transform boundaries occur where two plates slide past each other horizontally.


What occurs when two plates diverge?

A rift.

When two Continenal plates diverge what landforms are made?

When two Continental plates diverge, landforms like rift valleys and mid-ocean ridges are created. Rift valleys form on land where the plates are separating, while mid-ocean ridges are underwater mountain ranges that form in the ocean.


What forms when plate push together?

when plates push together, it forms new land.


True or false When two continental plates converge Rift Valley forms?

False. A rift valley forms when continental plates diverge or pull apart. When two continental plates collide the result is a mountain range.


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.
