What type of plate boundary is the mid Atlantic ocean?
The Mid-Atlantic Ocean is a divergent plate boundary, where tectonic plates are moving away from each other. This movement creates new oceanic crust as magma rises from the mantle and solidifies at the mid-ocean ridge.
What plate boundary separates the North American plate from the African plate?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge separates the North American plate from the African plate. This ridge runs through the Atlantic Ocean and marks the boundary where the two plates are moving apart.
Which ocean would you find divergent plate boundaries?
You would find divergent plate boundaries in the Atlantic Ocean, specifically along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. This is where tectonic plates are moving apart, leading to the formation of new oceanic crust.
What type of plate boundary is between the North American and the Pacific plates?
It is a transform boundary.
What is a plate boundary in the ocean where the plates move apart called?
A plate boundary in the ocean where tectonic plates move apart is called a divergent boundary. At these boundaries, magma rises from the mantle to create new crust as the plates separate. An example of a divergent boundary is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
What is another name for the divergent boundary in the ocean?
It is called the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
When the ridge in the middle of the Atlantic ocean formed along what boundary?
Divergent boundary
The Atlantic ocean grows in size due to a .?
divergent boundary
What type of plate boundary is most likely found in the Atlantic Ocean?
Divergent Boundary
What type of plate boundary is the mid Atlantic ocean?
The Mid-Atlantic Ocean is a divergent plate boundary, where tectonic plates are moving away from each other. This movement creates new oceanic crust as magma rises from the mantle and solidifies at the mid-ocean ridge.
What are the examples of divergent boundary?
Examples of a divergent boundary would be a mid-ocean ridge. Two plates are pulling apart from each other. If you have heard before, the magma from the asthenosphere find a way to get out through the crack of the diverging plates and makes new land. Another type of devergent boundary would be a fissure. It is a long linear crack made by the plates moving apart. I think maybe another one would probably be a volcano, but I am not sure.
What is the divergent plate boundary known for?
Divergent boundaries pull away from each other, and created the ridge in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
How much does the Atlantic ocean widen per year due to divergent boundary?
About 3 centimeters.
What plate boundary separates the North American plate from the African plate?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge separates the North American plate from the African plate. This ridge runs through the Atlantic Ocean and marks the boundary where the two plates are moving apart.
Which ocean would you find divergent plate boundaries?
You would find divergent plate boundaries in the Atlantic Ocean, specifically along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. This is where tectonic plates are moving apart, leading to the formation of new oceanic crust.
What type of plate boundary run through the Atlantic Ocean?
The Atlantic Ocean is primarily characterized by a divergent plate boundary, where the North American and Eurasian plates are moving away from the South American and African plates. This movement creates new oceanic crust as magma rises to the surface at mid-ocean ridges, particularly the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Additionally, there are transform boundaries along sections of the ocean floor, where plates slide past one another. Overall, the divergent boundary is the most significant feature in the Atlantic Ocean's tectonic dynamics.
Is the Atlantic Ocean the site of a spreading plate boundary?
Yes it is. It is home to the Mid-Atlantic ridge, a divergent plate boundary, where new crust (sea floor) is created. by your mom
