True or false When two continental plates converge Rift Valley forms?
False. A rift valley forms when continental plates diverge or pull apart. When two continental plates collide the result is a mountain range.
How do converging continental plates create mountain ranges?
Mountain ranges are created at convergent plate boundaries. That is where two plates, either ocean and continental or continental and continental come together.
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is an example of?
A spreading ridge, where two plates diverge.
Name two types of tectonic plates?
The two types of tectonic plates are continental and oceanic.
What landforms are created when two tectonic plates diverge?
new sea floor
When two continental plates diverge does a transform boundary form?
no
When two continental plates diverge a transforms boundary forms?
no
Does a rift valley form when two continental plates diverge?
yes it does
True or false When two continental plates converge Rift Valley forms?
False. A rift valley forms when continental plates diverge or pull apart. When two continental plates collide the result is a mountain range.
What occurs when two plates diverge?
A rift.
What does it mean if a plate boundary is divergent?
When two tectonic plates are diverging, that means that they are coming apart. Depending whether or not they are oceanic plates or continental plates, the outcome will be different. If two oceanic plates diverge, a rift valley will occur in the ocean; if the same is with continental plates an rift vally will occur on the continent.
Is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge located where two plates collide or are stationary?
None of the above. Where two plates diverge.
How do converging continental plates create mountain ranges?
Mountain ranges are created at convergent plate boundaries. That is where two plates, either ocean and continental or continental and continental come together.
When two continental plates collide what happens?
When two continental plates collide they form mountains .
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is an example of?
A spreading ridge, where two plates diverge.
Name two types of tectonic plates?
The two types of tectonic plates are continental and oceanic.
When two Continenal plates diverge what landforms are made?
a rift, or gap, in the bottom of the ocean.
