What will happen when two ocean crusts diverge?
A trench will form
Mountains will form
Tsunamis are more likely
Volcanoes are created
When a divergent boundary occurs beneath oceanic lithosphere, _____________________________, producing a mid-ocean ridge.
the mantel cools quickly without punching through the crust and becomes an underwater mountain
the ocean causes it to lose heat
the rising convection current below lifts the lithosphere and rips it apart
converges into one another
A prime example of a divergent boundary is _______
San Andreas
Himalayan Mountains
Mid-atlantic ridge
A prime example of a convergent boundary is _______
San Andreas
Himalayan Mountains
Mid-atlantic ridge
A prime example of a transform boundary is _______
Mid-atlantic ridge
Himalayan Mountains
San Andreas
