What feature forms at diverging oceanic plates?
Ridges of buoyant oceanic crust form at diverging oceanic plate boundaries.
This type of boundary forms when the crust of one plate is being pushed down and turned into molten rock?
The type of boundary that forms when the crust of one plate is pushed down under another plate and turned into molten rock is referred to as a convergent boundary. Convergent boundaries form when oceanic crust slides beneath continental crust.
Where is the new earth's crust added as it pertains to plate boundaries?
on the top of the crust, so it can be absorbed into the crust.
What is the plate within the crust where an earthquake occurs?
An earthquake an occur anywhere in the Earth's crust but they are more common along plate boundaries.
When does new crust form at plate boundaries?
When the plates are moving apart.
Which plate boundary occurs as continental crust collides with continental crust?
Convergent plate boundaries.
What feature forms at diverging oceanic plates?
Ridges of buoyant oceanic crust form at diverging oceanic plate boundaries.
New crust forms what kind of new boundaries?
Divergent boundaries create new crust.
What forms at diverging plate boundaries?
At diverging plate boundaries, you get a rift valley.
This type of boundary forms when the crust of one plate is being pushed down and turned into molten rock?
The type of boundary that forms when the crust of one plate is pushed down under another plate and turned into molten rock is referred to as a convergent boundary. Convergent boundaries form when oceanic crust slides beneath continental crust.
What do movement of earth's crust along the plate boundaries produce?
it produces earthquakes normally, depends how it shifts. sometimes it forms fold mountains
Where is the new earth's crust added as it pertains to plate boundaries?
on the top of the crust, so it can be absorbed into the crust.
What do spreading plate boundaries create?
They create new crust.
What do plate boundaries tell us?
Where the weak points in the crust are.
What is the plate within the crust where an earthquake occurs?
An earthquake an occur anywhere in the Earth's crust but they are more common along plate boundaries.
What features are commonly formed at the plate boundaries where continental crust converges with oceanic crust?
trench..............................
When does new crust form at plate boundaries?
When the plates are moving apart.
