Question

Explain one of the three types of plate movement that can take place along the Earth's plate boundaries. You may

discuss convergent, divergent, or transform boundaries. What happens at this type of boundary? What can happen to
Earth's surface?

Answer 1

Hey!

I WILL BE TALKING ABOUT DIVERGENT BOUNDARIES FOR YOU!

Step-by-step explanation:

What happens at this type of boundary?

So at a DIVERGENT BOUNDARY, the 2 tectonic plates move AWAY from each other..EARTHQUAKES occur and MAGMA (lava) RISES TO THE EARTHS SURFACE (either via a slow, volcanic eruption or directly)...

What can happen to the Earth's surface?

Well...over multiple eruptions, something called a SHIELD VOLCANO forms. These are WIDE and FLAT in shape...some can be hundrends of kilometers wide but discrete in presence...

Sometimes there aren't any volcano formations and instead a RIDGE VALLEY is formed...an area of ground that appears to have "sunk" as the 2 paltes have moved away...

HOPE THIS HELPS!!
