How are the movement of plates at divergent boundaries and at sliding boundaries similar?

Answer 1

it is different because separating plates move apart gaps between the plates and allow magma, while colliding plates form collision produced from distinct landforms, and they are both the same because they both produce landforms.

Answer 2

The similarity between colliding and separating tectonic plates is that both are areas of geologic instability. Also, the two regions have a better chance of being a source of vulcanism because of the nature of the instability. Even though they might be seen as "opposites" as regards the action of the plates, there is a way they are alike.

Where plates collide, one plate pushes under the other one in subduction. Volcanic action is likely as the subducted plate is forced below and melted below the crust. If plates are divergent, or separating and pulling apart, the rift is essentially a "crack" in the crust. Magma can upwell from below to heat the area, and again we see a possibility of volcanic action. Thermal vents dot the divergent plate boundaries down through the middle of the earth's two large ocean. In either subduction or divergence, geologic instability results and vulcanism is possible.

Answer 3

There are three kinds of plate boundaries:spreading boundaries, colliding boundaries, and sliding boundaries. The platea move at amazing show rates, from about 1 to 24 centimeters per year. Thet have been moving for tens of millions of years.

Answer 4

Both the movement of plates at divergent boundaries and sliding boundaries involve horizontal movement of the plates relative to each other. At divergent boundaries, the plates move away from each other, creating new crust, while at sliding boundaries, the plates slide past each other horizontally, causing friction and potential earthquake activity. Both types of boundaries are associated with tectonic plate motion and Earth's crustal dynamics.

Answer 5

The effects of colliding plates would be ridges and mountain ranges. The effects of separating plates are trenches and cracks in the earths surface.
