This type of boundary forms when two plates pull apart.?
Divergent plate boundaries form once two plates begin to pull apart from each other.
Which boundary do two plates pull apart?
Divergent plate boundary
What is the force that stretches or pull apart the crust called?
When there is a divergent boundary, regardless if the plates are ocean-ocean or continental-continental, tensional stress pulls on the crust. Rocks have weaker tensional strength than compressive strength, so they are easier to pull apart.
When tectonic plates pull apart?
When tectonic plates pull apart, they create gaps between them through which magma from the mantle can rise. As the magma cools and solidifies, new crust is formed at these mid-ocean ridges. This process is known as seafloor spreading.
What boundary forms when tectonic plates pull apart?
A divergent boundary forms when tectonic plates pull apart. As the plates move away from each other, magma rises up to create new crust, resulting in features like mid-ocean ridges or rift valleys on land.
What kind of plates pull apart?
divergent plates
When continental plates pull apart they form?
rift valley Answer 2 Continents are formed when continental plates pull apart.
Do plates pull apart in the middle of the Atlantic ocean?
Tectonic plates do pull apart in the middle of the ocean. These divergent plates form what is known as the Mid-Atlantic ridge.
When continental plates pull apart they form this?
rift valley Answer 2 Continents are formed when continental plates pull apart.
This type of boundary forms when two plates pull apart.?
Divergent plate boundaries form once two plates begin to pull apart from each other.
What type of volcano forms where plates pull apart?
A shield volcano forms where plates pull apart. This type of volcano has gentle sloping sides and is characterized by its low viscosity lava flows. Examples of shield volcanoes include those in Hawaii.
Where do two oceanic plates pull apart?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
Which boundary do two plates pull apart?
Divergent plate boundary
Where does a riftvalley form at?
It forms at a plate boundary. It deepens as the plates pull apart.
Can tectonic plates pull apart collide and move past one another?
yes
Where earth's plates move they slide alongside one another pull apart or?
collide
What is the crack in the earth that's open when two plates pull apart?
Those are earthquakes
