What will occur at a convergent plate boundary?
as the plates move towards each other the denser plate subducts into the asthenphere
What does a Divergent Boundary do?
these create rift valleys
What is the direction of movement from a divergent boundary?
the direction divergent boundaries move from is away from each other.
What happens when two continental crust collides?
A mountain gets made
What does divergent mean in science terms?
Divergent means to move away from each other. EX. Some of Earth's tectonic plates are divergent, or move away from each other. So magnets opposing one another are DIVERGENT ?
What are three ways plates can move in relation to one another?
Plates either move towards each other (convergent plates), away from each other (divergent plates) or slide next to each other (transform plates).
How do the plates move to form volcanoes?
The tectonic plates move divergent when they move away from each other, convergent when they are colliding with each other, and trasform when they slide past each other.
What is it called when the plates are moving toward each other?
This is called a convergent boundary. A divergent boundary is when plate move away from each other, and a transform boundary is when plates slide past each other.
What is it called when plates are moving toward each other?
This is called a convergent boundary. A divergent boundary is when plate move away from each other, and a transform boundary is when plates slide past each other.
How are convergert plates different from divergent plates?
Convergent plates move towards each other, causing alot of compressional forces. Divergent plates move away from each other causing alot of tensional forces.
Do plates slide past each other at convergent boundaries?
No. Plates come together at convergent boundaries. In other words they converge. Plates slide past each other at transform boundaries.
If two geologic plates are sliding past each other they are at what boundary?
Transform boundary is when the plates are sliding past each other: ↑ ↓; Divergent is when plates are sliding away from each other: ← →; and convergent is when plates are sliding towards each other: → ←. Those are the three main plate boundaries.
What are the three types of plate tectonic boundries?
divergent (plates move away from each other), convergent --->
What plates move towards each other?
convergent
How is a transform boundary from a convergent boundary?
At a convergent boundary two plates move toward each other. At a transform boundary plates slide past each other.
Describe the three types of plate motion and the faults that are characteristics of each motion?
One of the three types of plates are the transform plates slip past each other. The convergent plates push together. The divergent plates pull away from each other.
