Which occurs at a transform boundary?
earthquakes occur where there are transformed boundaries.
Where is there a divergent boundary?
Where two tectonic plates are moving farther away from each other, like at the Great Rift Valley in Africa.
What are facts about divergent plate boundaries?
They are where mid-ocean ridges occur. Island arcs are common features of convergent boundaries where two ocean plates meet. The boundary where two plates slide past each other, is a transform boundary. The density of the plates, is important at subduction zones, where the denser plate sinks below the less-dense plate, which is also a feature of convergent plates. Tectonic plates are part of the lithosphere, which floats on the asthenosphere.
New crust forms when or where?
where two plates pull apart from each other at oceanic ridges
Name types of plate boundarys found when two plates separate?
These are called divergent plate boundaries marked by ridges, caused by the uplift of crust by rising magma, on either side of a rift valley, where the magma fills in the gap left by the spreading ridges.
What is located in midocean ridges?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is found on the ocean floor in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
What type of land features are found around divergent boundaries?
There are two places that divergent boundaries occur. Under the sea where magma pushes up to form lava ridges and at the divergence at the Red Sea near the Suez canal.
What determines the boundary of a watershed?
elevation features like hills, mountains, and ridges
What are the main features of a zone of Divergence?
well that's easy just look up on divergent boundaries and it states the main features,which are two tectonic plates,ocean plates and mid-oceanic ridges.
Which occurs at a transform boundary?
earthquakes occur where there are transformed boundaries.
How are the plates moving at the mid ocean ridge?
Because diverging plate boundaries occur at mid-ocean ridges, this means the two lithospheric plates are spreading apart.
Where is there a divergent boundary?
Where two tectonic plates are moving farther away from each other, like at the Great Rift Valley in Africa.
How can one identify a yellow jacket?
Yellow jackets defining features are hard to tell from similar insect. The nests look like the face of a cliff. With ridges as the jacket expands. The nests can grow up to three times as big as a one gallon jug in two years. Before they land, they do a rapid side to die landing pattern. They only occur in colonies and have distinctive markings.

What is crossover in fingerprints?
When two ridges connect with no ending on either side.
How do you explain place which is in the five themes of geography?
Place describes what it's like when you get there, there are two types of place, it's human features and physical features. Human features are things that were made by humans (a skate park, bridges...etc.) and physical features are things that occur naturally (trees,water...etc.)
What are two words that come to mind when talking about the valley and ridge region?
valleys and ridges
