True
of the movement of tectonic plates causing stress and pressure to build up, leading to cracks or faults. Additionally, natural processes like weathering and erosion can also contribute to the formation of cracks in the Earth's crust.
friction
Earthquakes at divergent boundaries are caused by the movement of tectonic plates away from each other. As the plates separate, the stress builds up and eventually is released in the form of an earthquake. This movement can create cracks in the Earth's crust, resulting in seismic activity.
Venus does not have tectonic plates like Earth, so it does not have crustal plates that can move and create cracks or faults like we have on Earth. However, Venus does have many volcanoes, volcanic plains, and other volcanic features that can form due to internal processes and not necessarily due to tectonic activity.
Tectonic plates.
True
Scientists think there are cracks in the lithosphere because of the movement of tectonic plates. As these plates shift and interact, they create stress that can lead to the formation of fractures or faults in the lithosphere. These cracks play a crucial role in the movement of Earth's tectonic plates and the occurrence of earthquakes.
This deep cracks a better known as Faults.
On tectonic plates.
Volcanoes are only found on the edge of tectonic plates & they can also be found on cracks in the tectonic plates which is un-common
An Earthquake happens.
Divergent Plate Boundary. A Rift Valley forms between the two plates.

An earthquake. But while this happens the magma fills the gap.

The borders between tectonic plates are called plate boundaries. These boundaries can be divergent, convergent, or transform depending on whether the plates are moving apart, coming together, or sliding past each other.
