What else can I help you with?
Divergent plate boundaries are characterized by what?
Rifts.
What can occur at divergent plate boundaries?
plant boundaries move together
Where do most divergent plate boundaries occur?
Ocean ridges
What happens on a divergent plate boundary?
the two plates are moving away from each other, and new crust is formed.
What plate boundary is the Erta Ale volcano on?
Erta Ale volcano is located on the East African Rift, which is a divergent plate boundary. Divergent boundaries are where two tectonic plates are moving away from each other, allowing magma to rise up and create new crust. The East African Rift is a prime example of this type of boundary, where the African Plate is splitting into two separate plates, the Nubian Plate to the west and the Somali Plate to the east.
What are the volcanic landforms at divergent ocean plate boundaries called?
Volcanic landforms at divergent ocean plate boundaries are called mid-ocean ridges. These ridges form where tectonic plates are moving away from each other, allowing magma to rise up and create new oceanic crust. They are characterized by volcanic activity and the formation of underwater mountain ranges.
The volcanic landforms at divergent ocean plate boundaries are .?
The volcanic landforms at divergent ocean plate boundaries are oceanic ridges.
What landforms are formed at diverging boundaries?
In plate tectonics, divergent boundaries occur when plates pull apart. On land, divergent boundaries form rifts or valleys. More commonly, divergent boundaries in the ocean occur and cause mid-oceanic ridges. Divergent boundaries can also form volcanoes when the plates separate enough to allow molten lava to seep out, harden, and eventually form islands.
At what type of plate boundary is new ocean crust formed?
Older material
Do divergent boundaries make volcanos?
Yes volcanos are formed on convergent and divergent plate boundries but NOT on transform boundries
What kind of landforms are formed at transform plate boundaries?
there are many landforms such as volcanoes moutains little islands and trenches may also form at the transformation plate boundaries. i think this is the answer
Name 5 kinds of landforms caused by plate movement?
Mountains - formed by convergent plate boundaries where plates collide and are pushed upward. Rift valleys - formed by divergent plate boundaries where plates move apart, creating a depression in the earth's crust. Faults - fractures in the earth's crust caused by plates rubbing against each other. Folded mountains - created by the folding of rock layers due to compression at convergent plate boundaries. Volcanoes - formed at convergent and divergent plate boundaries where magma rises to the surface through the crust.
If ocean basins are formed from divergent plate boundaries what is replacing the space where the plate once was?
nothing its empty with air
What boundary is it when a volcano formed?
Volcanoes can form at convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, and at hot spots away from any plate boundary.
Why do different landforms result at convergent boundaries and divergent boundaries?
Different landforms result at convergent boundaries because the tectonic plates are colliding, causing one plate to be pushed beneath the other (subduction) or creating mountains. Divergent boundaries result in landforms like rift valleys and mid-ocean ridges because the plates are separating, allowing magma to rise and create new crust.
Types of plate boundaries?
The three main types of plate boundaries are divergent boundaries (plates move apart), convergent boundaries (plates move toward each other), and transform boundaries (plates slide past each other horizontally). At divergent boundaries, new crust is formed as magma rises to the surface, while at convergent boundaries, crust is destroyed as one plate is subducted beneath another. Transform boundaries are characterized by earthquakes as the plates grind past each other.
Where are most of the mountains found that have formed at divergent plate boundaries?
every body knows it's Guam
