What processes found at a divergent boundary help form the following rocks?
The process of upwelling magma is found a divergent boundaries. As this magma nears the surface it decompresses, and some of it flows onto the surface of the Earth as lava. Magma that solidifies beneath the surface of the Earth hardens into gabbro while lava on the surface of the Earth hardens into basalt. Both of these are igneous rocks. Metamorphic rocks are formed from the heat flowing from the igneous rocks. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the sediments collecting in the basins created from rifting (that is, the divergent boundaries). Metamorphic and sedimentary rocks are not considered to be formed at divergent boundaries.
Why is a DVD able to store 4.3GB of data even though it is the size of a normal CD?
Single layer recordable DVD's can store 4.3GB of data. Data is stored on CD's and DVD's via reflective and non reflective pits on the surface of the media. These "dots" are much smaller on DVD's which gives you more room to store information on the surface of the disc. Dual Layer DVDs hold 8.5GB. The pits on a DVD are much smaller and closer together than those on a CD. The new BlueRay disks can pack the pits even closer together because the blue light used to read them has a smaller wavelength and hence is able to resolve smaller details on a disks surface. CDs are read by a red or infrared light which has a much longer wavelength and is not able to resolve smaller pits on a disks surface.
What are small rocky objects that revolve around the Sun called?
Objects smaller than planets and dwarf planets, which are not moons, are called asteroids.The smallest are called meteoroids, especially when they encounter a larger body, and micrometeoroids if they are as small as grains of sand or dust, or even smaller.(because of their low mass, micrometeors can survive atmospheric deceleration to reach the surface)

What does not describe the surface air movement of the Northern Hemisphere low?
divergent
What are the surface effect at a divergent boundry?

Plates on the surface move away from each other?
They are called divergent plate boundaries.

When a hotspot rises and cracks the surface is it a convergent divergent or transform boundary?
When a hotspot rises and cracks the surface, it is typically associated with a divergent boundary. At divergent boundaries, tectonic plates move apart, allowing magma from the mantle to rise up and create new crust.
