What else can I help you with?
What are diverging bounderies?
a divergent boundary is where two of earth plates are moving
Plates and the rocks that compose them are moving apart at these places?
This is happening at divergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates are moving away from each other. This movement is caused by the upwelling of magma from the mantle, which creates new crust as it solidifies. Examples of divergent plate boundaries include the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the East Pacific Rise.
Which is the next planet after Saturn moving outward from the sun?
The next planet after Saturn moving outward from the Sun is Uranus.
Can volcanoes form along spreading plate boundaries on land?
No, volcanoes do not typically form along spreading plate boundaries on land. Volcanic activity at spreading plate boundaries is more commonly associated with mid-ocean ridges where two tectonic plates are moving apart, allowing magma to rise to the surface and form new oceanic crust. Land-based volcanoes are more often found at convergent plate boundaries where one plate is subducting beneath another.
How are the plates moving at the mid ocean ridge?
At mid-ocean ridges, tectonic plates are moving apart from each other due to seafloor spreading. Magma rises up from the mantle to fill the gap between the diverging plates, creating new oceanic crust. This process pushes the existing crust away from the ridge and helps drive the movement of the tectonic plates.
How are plates moving at diverging boundaries?
To diverge means to move apart.
Is subduction characteristic of diverging plate boundaries?
No, subduction is not characteristic of diverging plate boundaries. Subduction occurs at converging plate boundaries where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another plate. Diverging plate boundaries are where tectonic plates move away from each other, such as at mid-ocean ridges.

What is converging and diverging?
Divergent and convergent are both boundaries that form different kinds of landmasses.
When do tectonic plates separate one another?
The plates which are constantly moving move apart at divergent boundaries. These are also called constructive boundaries because of the fact that new magma rises here and heals the diverging plates.

What is the energy moving outward from the sun called?
Radiation.

Moving your jaws outward causing a underbite is called what?
Protraction
Mountain ranges at the bottom of the ocean are called?
Submarine mountain ranges at the bottom of the ocean are called oceanic ridges or mid-ocean ridges. These are underwater mountain ranges that form along plate boundaries where tectonic plates are diverging or moving apart.
