<u>The characteristics of earthquakes occurring along a divergent plate:</u>

Divergent plates are the plates that move away from each other. Earthquakes occur along a divergent plate like the mid Atlantic ridge and the east Pacific rise and these earthquakes are called the spreading centers and are relatively small and not very big.

The earthquakes are common here and are restricted to a narrow zone which is close to the ridge. These are consistently at less than 30 km in depth. And the earthquakes along these plates are shallow focus earthquakes.

<u>Basalt</u>

<em>     </em><em>Formation</em> -basalt is (mineral) a hard igneous rock of varied mineral   content formed when lava reaches the Earth's surface near an active volcano

<em>     </em><em>Texture</em>-  is fine grained so the individual minerals are not visible

<em>     </em><em>Colour</em>- basalt being dark

<u>Rhyolite</u>

<em>       Formation</em> -Rhyolite is a very fine-grained to glassy extrusive igneous rock. Formed in continental plates have  volcanic eruptions.

<em>     Texture</em>- very small than grains and are difficult to observe without using a hand lens.

<em>     </em><em>Colour</em>- light in colour whether  pink or grey  

<u>Andesite</u>  

<em>     </em><u><em> </em></u><em>Formation</em>- Andesite is a fine-grained igneous rock that forms when the magma is rises up onto the surface and  crystallized quickly

<em>     </em><em>Texture</em>- higher than basalt and lower than rhyolite  

<em>     </em><em>Colour</em><em> -</em>- color is pale due to silica content
