At divergent boundaries, primarily hydrothermal metamorphism occurs due to the interaction of seawater with hot magma and volcanic activity. As tectonic plates pull apart, magma rises to create new oceanic crust, and the circulating seawater can alter minerals in the rocks, leading to changes in their chemical and physical properties. This process is often associated with the formation of features like black smokers and altered mineral deposits.
What else can I help you with?
New crust forms what kind of new boundaries?
New crust forms at divergent boundaries, where tectonic plates move away from each other. This process can occur in oceanic or continental crust.
What kind of plates cause volcanoes?
Plates do not cause volcanoes. Volcanoes generally form at the boundaries between plates. They form at convergent and divergent boundaries.
What plate boundaries move away from each other?
The kind of plate boundary that moves apart is a Divergent Plate Boundary
Which kind of metamorphism occurs next to an intrusion of molten magma?
Contact metamorphism occurs next to an intrusion of molten magma. This type of metamorphism happens when hot magma comes into contact with existing rock, causing the rock to undergo changes in mineralogy and texture due to the heat and pressure.
What kind of boundaries can cause earthquakes and volcanoes?
Earthquakes can occur at any type of plate boundary, but the most powerful earthquakes tend to occur at convergent boundaries and at transform boundaries.
What kind of boundaries move plates apart?
divergent
New crust forms what kind of new boundaries?
New crust forms at divergent boundaries, where tectonic plates move away from each other. This process can occur in oceanic or continental crust.
What kind of landforms are formed at divergent plate boundaries?
Mid Ocean Ridges and Rift Valleys.
What kind of magma is formed at divergent boundaries?
Usually a dense basaltic magma with low water content.
What kind of plates cause volcanoes?
Plates do not cause volcanoes. Volcanoes generally form at the boundaries between plates. They form at convergent and divergent boundaries.
What kind of metamorphism might take place at a divergent boundary?
When a divergent boundary occurs beneath oceanic lithosphere, the rising convection current below lifts the lithosphere producing a mid-ocean ridge!!!Hope i helped.
What plate boundaries move away from each other?
The kind of plate boundary that moves apart is a Divergent Plate Boundary
What are the plate boundaries?
Divergent, convergent, and transform. Divergent is where they move apart, convergent is where they move together, while transform is where they slide past each other. hi im kind im a different person
Which kind of metamorphism occurs next to an intrusion of molten magma?
Contact metamorphism occurs next to an intrusion of molten magma. This type of metamorphism happens when hot magma comes into contact with existing rock, causing the rock to undergo changes in mineralogy and texture due to the heat and pressure.
What kind of boundaries can cause earthquakes and volcanoes?
Earthquakes can occur at any type of plate boundary, but the most powerful earthquakes tend to occur at convergent boundaries and at transform boundaries.
Which kind of metamorphism occurs next to intrusion of Molten Magma?
Contact metamorphism.
What kind of landforms do divergent boundaries make up?
Divergent boundaries create landforms such as rift valleys and mid-ocean ridges. Rift valleys form on continents when land is pulled apart, while mid-ocean ridges develop along the ocean floor as new crust is created.
