Tectonic plates typically move away from each other at rates ranging from a few millimeters to several centimeters per year. On average, the movement at mid-ocean ridges, where plates diverge, is about 2 to 5 centimeters annually. However, this rate can vary depending on the specific location and geological conditions.
What else can I help you with?
Can two plates moving away from each other form a volcano?
Yes, but no with each other. They can meet other plates.
What happens when two plates pull away from each other in opposite directions?
When any fault occurs or tectonic plates pull away from each other under the ground. An earthquake happens.
How do Plates move where convection currents are rising-?
This tends to occur below a constructive / divergent plate boundary so the plates will move away from each other.
If two geologic plates are sliding past each other they are at what boundary?
Transform boundary is when the plates are sliding past each other: ↑ ↓; Divergent is when plates are sliding away from each other: ← →; and convergent is when plates are sliding towards each other: → ←. Those are the three main plate boundaries.
What do you call plate boundaries that move away from each other?
Plate boundaries that move away from each other are called divergent boundaries. This movement results in the plates separating from each other, often leading to the formation of new crust.
Can two plates moving away from each other form a volcano?
Yes, but no with each other. They can meet other plates.
What is it called when two plates move away from each other?
When two plates move away from each other it makes a falt line or a riffed. -bekahcboo
What are three ways tectonic plates interact with each other?
When plates slide past each other, move toward each other, and move away from each other.
What is the movement of diverging?
A plate boundary where two plates move away from each other.A plate boundary where two plates move away from each other.
What is the direction of movement from a divergent boundary?
the direction divergent boundaries move from is away from each other.
What kind of boundary is found where two plates move away from each other?
techtonic plates
Are the pacific plates and the antarctic plates moving towards each other or away from each other or past each other?
the plates are moving away from each other.
When two plates move away from each other it is called what boundary?
When two plates move away from each other it makes a falt line or a riffed. -bekahcboo
How do the plates move to form volcanoes?
The tectonic plates move divergent when they move away from each other, convergent when they are colliding with each other, and trasform when they slide past each other.
What happens when two plates pull away from each other in opposite directions?
When any fault occurs or tectonic plates pull away from each other under the ground. An earthquake happens.
What are active zones?
It where to plates rub past each other; move away from each other; or move towards each other.
Two plates moving away from each other are said to be?
Divergent
