they move against one another
What else can I help you with?
What does a Divergent Boundary do?
these create rift valleys
What will occur at a convergent plate boundary?
as the plates move towards each other the denser plate subducts into the asthenphere
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 the three plate movements?
The three main types of plate movements are convergent, where plates move towards each other; divergent, where plates move away from each other; and transform, where plates slide past each other horizontally.
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 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 are the 3 main types of plate boundreis?
The three main types of plate boundaries are convergent boundaries, where plates move toward each other, divergent boundaries, where plates move away from each other, and transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other horizontally.
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.
In which direction do plates travel at a convergent boundary?
At a convergent boundary, plates move towards each other.
What are the three main plate movements?
The three main plate movements are: 1) Divergent boundary, where plates move away from each other; 2) Convergent boundary, where plates move towards each other; and 3) Transform boundary, where plates slide past each other horizontally.
What are the three types of plate tectonic boundries?
The three types of plate tectonic boundaries are divergent boundaries, where plates move apart; convergent boundaries, where plates collide; and transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other horizontally.
What is the divergent boundary convergent boundary and strike slip boundary?
divergent= move away from each other convergent= CONVERGE together strike-slip= brushing past each other A divergent boundary occurs at the point where two plates are moving away from each, creating more crust at the point of separation. A convergent boundary is where two plates are both moving into each other, neither subducting under the other, but pushing up the crust. A strike slip boundary occurs when plates are colliding at an angle. Tension builds up and is released in the form of an earthquake.
Describe the three types of plate motion and the faults that are characteristic 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.
