What happens on a divergent plate boundary?
the two plates are moving away from each other, and new crust is formed.
How long did it take for the Rocky Mountains to form?
The rocky mountians formed over 20 million years of colition bettween two continental plates
How long did it take to build mount vernon?

What is the Great Rift Valley of East Africa an excellent example of?
The spreading of plates from a divergent boundary that divides an existing landmass into two separate plates.
What two gods do not have thrones on mount Olympus?
Hades and hestia
Is Pinatubo on the Philippine's on a convergent plate?
Yes, Mount Pinatubo is located in the Philippines, but it is not on a convergent plate boundary. It is actually located along the boundary of two tectonic plates, the Eurasian Plate and the Philippine Sea Plate, which are moving towards each other at a convergent boundary.
Why did the Mount Pinatubo plates move?
Mount Pinatubo plates moved due to a movement of two plates, when two plates rubtogether they melt causing liquid magma. When the pressure builds or a sudden movement of two plates can cause an earthquake which allows the volcano to erupt. Mt Pinatubo rumbled for days then it erupted killing around people including several journalists. It sent a cloud of sulfuric acid into the atmosphere 20 million tons of it travelled around the equator for days, the particles reflected sun light and cooled the whole world by 1. Who ever wrote this first could not spell Plus didn't say why they actually MOVE (i.e. the question). They move due to convection currents. These occur from the heating process withing the core of the earth. Warm magma rises to the surface where it cools and sinks. This process is a flow (circular) and moves the plates.
What is formed when two ocean plate collide?
When tectonic plates collide and the direction of the forces is primarily perpendicular, the plates push up forming a mountain. The Himalayan Mountains are formed by the collision of two plates and are still growing. The summit of Mount Everest is, in fact, marine limestone.
What surface feature is formed where two plates meet?
The surface feature formed when two plates meet is known as a fault. In some cases mountains can also be formed when two plates collide.
What plates caused mount teide?
The plates responsible for forming Mount Teide are the African plate and the Eurasian plate. The Canary Islands, where Mount Teide is located, were formed by volcanic activity along a rift zone where these two plates meet. The magma rising from the Earth's mantle through this rift zone led to the formation of the volcanic islands, including Mount Teide on Tenerife Island.
When two continental plates collide what types of mountain are formed?
When two continental plates collide,fold mountains are formed.
What is formed when two plates spread on Earth's crust?
Plates
What two tectonic plates caused Mount Unzen in Japan?
The Philippine and Eurasian plates created Mount Unzen in Japan.
What type of boundary formed mount stromboli?
Mount Stromboli was formed along a convergent boundary, where two tectonic plates (the African plate and the Eurasian plate) collide. This collision resulted in the subduction of the denser plate beneath the lighter plate, creating a volcanic arc where Mount Stromboli is located.
What is a string of islands formed from a collision of two ocean plates?
A string of islands formed from a collision of two oceanic plates is called an island arc.
What caused the mount stromboli formation?
Two tectonic plates
