When two Continenal plates diverge what landforms are made?

When two Continental plates diverge, landforms like rift valleys and mid-ocean ridges are created. Rift valleys form on land where the plates are separating, while mid-ocean ridges are underwater mountain ranges that form in the ocean.


What forces inside the earth create and change landforms?

seismic waves created by the constantly moving tectonic plates create and change the landforms. For more info google Tectonic Plates, and that will tell you everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


What are the landforms that you call volcanoes created by?

Volcanoes are primarily created by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. When these plates shift or collide, it can result in magma being forced to the surface through openings in the Earth's crust, creating a volcano. The magma then solidifies to form the various structures of a volcano, such as a cone or caldera.


Have the landforms of central America been shaped by tectonic processes?

Yes, the landforms of Central America have been largely shaped by tectonic processes, including the movement of tectonic plates and volcanic activity. The region is located along the boundary of several tectonic plates, leading to the formation of mountain ranges, volcanoes, and trenches. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are common in Central America due to these tectonic forces.


Are waves created by tectonic plates?

Yes, and, no. Yes, waves are created by tectonic plates during an earthquake (When two or more tectonic plates rub together and make huge vibrations) and even cause tsunami waves. Waves are not formed when the plates are still, though.

How are new land-forms created?

Landforms are created by interaction between tectonic plates. They are also formed by erosion from wind and water.


What are 5 kind of landforms caused by plate movement?

Mountains: These are formed when tectonic plates collide and push against each other, causing the Earth's crust to uplift and form peaks. Valleys: Created when tectonic plates move apart, leading to the stretching and sinking of the Earth's crust, resulting in low-lying areas. Rift valleys: Formed when tectonic plates move apart or diverge, causing the Earth's crust to split and create a deep trench. Volcanoes: These landforms are created when tectonic plates converge, leading to one plate sinking below the other and magma rising to the surface. Plateaus: Formed when tectonic plates uplift and create flat, elevated land areas due to volcanic activity or crustal compression.


What is an ocean trench and where do they occur?

i do not no sorry


What kind of landforms happen from earthquakes?

Mountains of tectonic plates i think!


Earthquakes occur mainly allong the edges of?

Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.


What landform is created when plates diverge (move apart)?

A mid-ocean ridge is formed when plates diverge or move apart. This is where new crust is created as magma rises to fill the gap created by the separating plates.


What is formed when the tectonic plated disvergent?

When tectonic plates diverge, magma is allowed to well up to the Earth's surface and harden, forming new land.
