The answer is Divergent boundary.

<u>Explanation:</u>

It is an are where two lithospheric plates move away from each other which results in cracks and faults. Divergent boundaries in the middle of the ocean contribute to sea floor spreading when plates made of oceanic crust move apart from each other resulting in the appearance of cracks in the ocean floor. Some of the divergent boundaries are the mid Atlantic ridge and the Great rift valley.

Briefly compare and contrast the two disciplines, geography and geology
jarptica [38.1K]

The main difference between geography and geology is that geography is mostly dealing with the physical overall shapes of the land. Geology is a science that is interested in how the land got into the shape it did.

Geology is mostly about what the ground is made up of from a natural perspective. What kind of rocks it contains and how those rocks or layers of rocks got there.

Geography is mostly dealing with mapping the extent of landforms, how far rivers are, how long mountain ranges are, how long the coast line is. This is often from the perspective of people or culture.

There are three kinds of plate tectonic boundaries: divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries. Describe the action o
nata0808 [166]

In which plate boundary two plates move towards each other and collide called convergent plate boundary. And causes devastation. E.g. Earthquake, Vulcanicity. In which plate boundary two plates move in opposite direction and do not collide called divergent plate boundary. Mountain building is the result of this type of plate boundary's action. In transform fault both the plates slide each other and causes fault in the sea floor.

Explanation:

Plate is a rigid and solid crustal block which is mobile in character and found in the asthenosphere in the upper mantle. It prevails in semi liquid and viscous condition where plates move easily. There are seven major plates and twenty minor plates. Plates are of two types. Continental plate and oceanic plate.

Where two plates collide with each other that area is known as plate boundary and the edge of plate is known as plate margin. Plate boundary is of three types: Convergent, divergent and transform plate boundary. These are also known as constructive, destructive and neutral plate boundaries.
