What else can I help you with?
What are the valleys under the ocean called?
They are called trenches.
What does deep-ocean basin consist of?
the deep ocean basin consist of the deepest part of the ocean . :)
A geologic feature of divergent plate boundaries in oceanic crust is the formation of?
rift valleys
A logical evolutionary analog of the African Rift Valleys ten million years from now?
In the future, a potential analog to the African Rift Valleys could be deep ocean trenches formed by the spreading of tectonic plates on the ocean floor. These trenches could become biodiversity hotspots with unique ecosystems evolving to adapt to the extreme conditions. Additionally, they could serve as important sites for studying deep-sea life and geology.
What they form when the plates moves slowly?
trenches or mountains or rift valleys or faults depends which direction the plates move
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.
How are rift valleys and abyssal plains alike?
Rift valleys are linear-shaped lowlands in between highlands or mountain ranges that were created by geologic rift or fault. Abyssal plains are underwater plains deep on the ocean floor between a mid-ocean ridge and the foot of a continental rise.
Does divergent boundaries have any features?
Yes: Mid-Ocean Ridges and Rift Valleys
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.
What is the difference between rift valley and trench?
A rift valley is a lowland region that forms as tectonic plates move away from each other, creating a depression. A trench, on the other hand, is a long, narrow, steep-sided depression in the ocean floor formed at a subduction zone where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another. Rift valleys occur on land, while trenches are found in the ocean.
Are divergent plate boundaries associated with folded mountains and deep sea trenches?
No. Sea floor trenches are found at convergent boundaries. divergen boundaries form mid-ocean ridges.
Does a rift valley forms along a convergent boundary on land?
No, rift valleys form along divergent boundaries, where tectonic plates move away from each other. Convergent boundaries are where plates collide, leading to the formation of features like mountains and deep ocean trenches.
