My girlfriend broke up with me, saying that we were developing divergent boundaries.
In plate tectonics, divergent boundaries are linear features that exist between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other.
Seafloor is created at divergent plate boundaries called the mid-ocean ridges.
Both transform boundaries and divergent boundaries involve movement of Earth's tectonic plates. However, transform boundaries involve plates sliding past each other horizontally, while divergent boundaries involve plates moving away from each other.
No, subduction is not common at divergent plate boundaries. Divergent plate boundaries are characterized by plates moving away from each other, which creates new oceanic crust. Subduction occurs at convergent plate boundaries where plates collide and one descends beneath the other.
Divergent boundaries form ocean ridges.
The Divergent Boundaries.
the divergent bounday forms new crust
divergent boundaries
convergent boundaries collide but divergent boundaries move away from each other.
Its because they are zones/areas of new crustal formation/creation.
divergent boundaries happen when 2 plates move apart or divide
On the seafloor. Yes, the mid oceanic ridges are all divergent boundaries.
Seafloor is created at divergent plate boundaries called the mid-ocean ridges.
divergent
Divergent Boundaries - A boundary between two lithoperic plates that are moving apart .
along divergent boundaries tectonic plates move apart & rifts are created
No. Divergent boundaries cause mid ocean ridges (MORs) to form.
