Continental Drift
The two types of push forces are tension and compression. Tension forces act to pull an object outward, while compression forces act to push an object inward.
In physics, attractive forces pull objects together, while repulsive forces push them apart. These forces determine how objects interact with each other and can affect the behavior of particles and objects in the universe.
The two types of forces used when bending are compressive force, which acts to squeeze or compress the material, and tensile force, which acts to stretch or pull the material. These forces work together to deform the material into the desired shape during the bending process.
Two major forces that bridges deal with are compression and tension. Compression forces act to push or squeeze the material together, while tension forces act to pull the material apart. Bridges are designed to distribute these forces to ensure the structure can support the weight it carries.
Slab pull and ridge push are two key driving forces of plate tectonics that work together to move tectonic plates. Slab pull occurs when the denser oceanic plate sinks into the mantle at subduction zones, pulling the rest of the plate behind it. Ridge push happens at mid-ocean ridges where new crust is formed and pushes the tectonic plate away from the ridge. Together, these forces contribute to the movement of tectonic plates.
divergent plates
rift valley Answer 2 Continents are formed when continental plates pull apart.
Tectonic plates do pull apart in the middle of the ocean. These divergent plates form what is known as the Mid-Atlantic ridge.
When continental plates pull apart, they form rift valleys. This process is known as rifting and it can ultimately lead to the formation of new ocean basins if the plates continue to separate.
The process called plate tectonics is responsible for plates pulling apart. Over time, and with the combination of carbon dioxide, erosion, and force, plates are able to pull apart. This will eventually cause some plates to separate from one another.
Divergent plate boundaries form once two plates begin to pull apart from each other.
A shield volcano forms where plates pull apart. This type of volcano has gentle sloping sides and is characterized by its low viscosity lava flows. Examples of shield volcanoes include those in Hawaii.
No. There are three main types of boundary: convergent boundaries where plates push into each other, divergent boundaries where plates pull apart, and transform boundaries where plates slide past each other.
