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.
Are the Andes mountains a constructive or destructive landform?
The Andes mountains are a constructive landform created by the convergence of tectonic plates. The collision of the South American Plate and the Nazca Plate has led to the uplift and formation of the Andes over millions of years.
What landform is created when two continental plates pull apart?
A rift valley is created when two continental plates pull apart. This process forms a large trench-like depression on land, often accompanied by volcanic activity and earthquakes. An example of this is the East African Rift Valley.
What is a landform created by glacial erosion?
A cirque is a landform created by glacial erosion. It is a bowl-shaped depression with steep walls located at the head of a glacier.
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.
What landform is created when plates seperate?
farts
How was the Canadian shield landform created?
it was created when two tectonic plates collided.....
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.
What type of boundaries form fold mountains?
landform created bye the convergence of two continental plates
What type of landform is created by the collision of continental?
When two Continental plates collide, both plates lift upward and it can form mountains or mountain chains.
When two plates push together what landform is created?
mountains, unless one plate is subducted below the other.
What major landform is made when two continental plates converge?
When two continental plates converge, a major landform created is a mountain range. The intense pressure and collision between the plates causes the Earth's crust to uplift, forming large mountain ranges such as the Himalayas or the Alps.
What is created when plates separate?
When tectonic plates separate, a mid-ocean ridge is created. Magma rises to the surface to fill the gap, solidifying as new crust and pushing the existing plates on either side away from each other. This process is known as seafloor spreading.
Are the Andes mountains a constructive or destructive landform?
The Andes mountains are a constructive landform created by the convergence of tectonic plates. The collision of the South American Plate and the Nazca Plate has led to the uplift and formation of the Andes over millions of years.
What landform resulting from 2 continental plates colliding together?
Tectonic plates colliding generally form mountains.
The African landform that was probably formed when two tectonic plates moved apart is the?
The African landform that was most likely formed when two tectonic plates moved apart is known as the Great Rift Valley. That is what most geography experts agree is what happened.
What is advantage of creating a landform from a topographic map?
you can get the precise elevation of the landform you've created.
