The force tension at a divergent plate boundary causes a what?
The force tension at a divergent plate boundary causes the two plates to move away from each other. As the plates separate, magma rises from the mantle to fill the gap, forming new crust. This process is known as seafloor spreading.
What are the 2 types of divergent boundaries and what happens in each?
continetal and oceanic
Where are rift boundaries formed at and what happens at them?
A rift boundary is a divergent boundary, where two plates of the earth's crust are moving away from each other. Divergent boundaries occur at mid-oceanic ridges on the sea floor, but usually the term rift is used to describe divergent boundaries on the land. The best known one is in eastern Africa.
What happens when divergent boundaries occur in the middle of an ocean?
A ridge with transverse faults is formed, where new oceanic crust (seafloor) is formed.
What type of boundary occurs between the max a plate and the South American plate?
Convergent on the western perimeter, divergent on the Easter perimeter.
What force causes divergent boundaries?
Tension
What force is present at divergent boundry?
Tension
What kind of force is illustrated in the given diagram of a divergent boundry?
Tension
What happens divergent boundaries?
divergent boundaries happen when 2 plates move apart or divide
What happens along divergent boundaries?
along divergent boundaries tectonic plates move apart & rifts are created

What happens to tris in divergent?
Peter spray-paints the word 'stiff' on it.
What happens to Tris's bed in Divergent?
Peter spray-paints the word 'stiff' on it.
Which features involve tension?
Features that involve tension include fault lines, mountain ranges, cliffs, and folds in rock layers. Tension forces can cause these features to form as the Earth's crust responds to the stress.
What happens when a material is under tension?
it gets stretched
Type of fault that may form when rocks are pulled apart due to tension?
Rocks being pulled apart are under tension. This is found at divergent plate boundaries. It is a tension fault.
