Where two tectonic plates are moving farther away from each other, like at the Great Rift Valley in Africa.
This is known as a divergent boundary.
It creates a divergent boundary.
Another name for a constructive boundary is a divergent boundary. This type of boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other, leading to the formation of new crust. It is characterized by volcanic activity and the creation of rift valleys.
A mid-ocean ridge is formed in a divergent boundary where two tectonic plates move away from each other. Magma rises to fill the gap created by the plates moving apart, creating new oceanic crust. This process results in a continuous mountain range on the ocean floor.
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.
It is called a divergent plate boundary.
Divergent boundary is formed
Convergent on the western perimeter, divergent on the Easter perimeter.
Often, a divergent boundary within a continent will produce rifts, which will produce rift valleys. A divergent boundary may also be referred to as an extensional boundary, a constructive boundary, or a divergent plate boundary.
Seafloor is created at divergent plate boundaries called the mid-ocean ridges.
Divergent Boundary, (Constructive Boundary).
I believe the red sea is located at a divergent plate boundary.
