What types of plates move apart?
divergent plate boundaries do.
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.
How are divergent and transform fault plates alike?
Divergent boundaries are when two plates move apart. Divergent Boundaries in the ocean is when the sea floor spreads as the oceanic plates move apart. This causes places like the oceanic ridge. Divergent boundaries on crust are when two pieces of crust move apart. This makes mountains and valleys. Transform Boundaries are formed when two plates shear against each other, like the San Andreas Fault in California. The only way they are alike is because both of them cause earthquakes.
What are the 3 basic kinds of plate boundaries?
The three basic kinds of plate boundaries are divergent boundaries, where plates move apart; convergent boundaries, where plates come together; and transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other horizontally.
Are formed at divergent and converging boundaries?
Convergent and divergent boundaries are terms used in plate tectonics to describe the juncture at two plates and how they move in relation to each other. Divergent plates move apart and convergent move towards each other.
What do plates move apart on?
Plates move apart on divergent plate boundaries.
What are the three ways boundaries interact?
convergent boundaries: plates move together divergent boundaries: plates move apart transform boundaries: plates move against each other
What kind of boundaries move plates apart?
divergent
What are spreading boundaries?
Spreading boundaries are places where two plates move apart.
What types of plates move apart?
divergent plate boundaries do.
How are divergent plates different from convergent plates?
Divergent Boundaries happen when two plates (oceanic or contental) begin to diverge, or move apart. Convergent Boundaries occur when two plates (again, oceanic or contential) begin to converge or move apart
How are plates moving at diverging boundaries?
To diverge means to move apart.
What happens divergent boundaries?
divergent boundaries happen when 2 plates move apart or divide
How are the movement of plates are divergent boundaries and at transform boundaries similar?
They are not similar, divergent boundaries are where the move apart. transform boundaries are where the two plates rub together and move in opposite directions with great force.
What do plates move apart along on?
Plates move apart along divergent boundaries, where new crust is created through volcanic activity and magma upwelling from the mantle. This process is called seafloor spreading and occurs primarily in mid-ocean ridges.
Tectonic plates interact at what?
Tectonic plates interact at plate boundariesThey move apart at divergent boundaries
What happens along divergent boundaries?
along divergent boundaries tectonic plates move apart & rifts are created
