A divergent boundary is where two tectonic plates move away from each other. This movement results in the formation of new crust as magma rises to fill the gap created by the separating plates. In oceanic settings, this process leads to the formation of mid-ocean ridges, while on land it can create rift valleys.
What else can I help you with?
What causes magma to form at a divergant plate?
At a divergent plate boundary the crust is thin. This reduces pressure on the upper mantle, lowering the melting point and allowing some rock to melt.
Where do plate boundary movements occur?
At plate boundaries.
What type of boundary is northern sumatra?
The northern boundary of Sumatra is a general tectonic boundary where the Eurasian Plate meets the Sunda Plate. This boundary can experience earthquakes and volcanic activity due to tectonic movements.
Is the African plate a divergent plate?
Divergent refers to a plate boundary where plates are moving apart. Plates are not referred to in terms of their boundary movements.
What are the three main plate movements?
The three main plate movements are: 1) Divergent boundary, where plates move away from each other; 2) Convergent boundary, where plates move towards each other; and 3) Transform boundary, where plates slide past each other horizontally.
What does divergant boundary?
is a boundary
What forms a divergant boundary?
mountains
What is a type of boundary where two plates put apart?
A divergant plate boundary.
What is an example of divergant boundary?
Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
What is one hypothesis regarding the formation of a divergant boundary on a continent?
i dont know if its is true, but plate tectonics
Which plate is covering most of two continents?
convergant boundary and divergant boundary
Boundary that usually results in an earthquake?
conversion boundary

Where do plate boundary movements occur?
At plate boundaries.
What type of plate boundary results in the rifting of the lithosphere?
A divergent plate boundary.
What type of boundary is northern sumatra?
The northern boundary of Sumatra is a general tectonic boundary where the Eurasian Plate meets the Sunda Plate. This boundary can experience earthquakes and volcanic activity due to tectonic movements.
