Why does melting occur at divergent plate boundaries

Geography
1 answer:
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

As plates move apart at the divergent plate boundary the release of pressure produces partial melting of the underlying mantle. This molten material, known as magma, is basaltic in composition and is buoyant. As a result, it wells up from below and cools close to the surface to generate new crust

99 points and brainliest! What are 2 advantages and 2 disadvantages of North America's climate and North America's geographical
Ksenya-84 [330]

The climate of North America can range broadly, from forests, hot summers to cold, wet winters, freezing temperatures in the winter, to blistering heat in the summer. Here are some advantages and disadvantages of North America's climate.

<u>Advantages:</u>

- Largely sunny, with moderate rainfalls during seasons that allow for plant growth typically in Central America.

- Large, Spacious, and diverse geographical places, from deserts that house animals such as Coyotes, to mountains that house mountain goats and other animals, to rain forests that have bears, etc.

<u>Disadvantages:</u>

- Large tracts of Deserts makes it hard for urbanization and build up of the lands, as it costs large amounts of money to change desert into livable lands.

- Areas of the lands can be more hot (especially central - southern US) as they are closer to the equator, while the northern parts of North America (Northern part of the US and Canada) is generally colder.
