Becomes older

Explanation:

As sea floor spreading occurs at divergent margins, the oceanic plate becomes older. Younger plate margin are the closest to the margin whereas the older plates bushes backward away from the spreading centers.

  • The idea that the sea floor spreads was postulated by Harry Hess shortly after the second world war around the 1960's.
  • At divergent margins new crust materials from the mantle are brought to the surface.
  • They crystallize and settle at the flanks of plate margins.
  • Older ones are pushed backward away from the margin into far away subduction zones.

Transform active margins are associated with which type of boundary? Convergent Transform Divergent
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Transform active margins are associated with which type of boundary?

Transform boundary

Explanation:

The transform boundary is a boundary where one plates(crust) slides past another plate horizontally. This kind of plate movement have been detected to exist between the interaction of the North pacific plates(continental plate) and the pacific plates(oceanic plates) .

At the transform margin the crust are usually broken. But overall crust are neither created nor destroyed . The transform margin region are active as it is marked by shallow-focus earthquakes .

Along the fractured zone where this transform movement occurs is known to create extensive transform faults .Notable transform fault that exist in this kind of boundary(transform) is the San Andrea fault and Alpine Fault.  

The motion of this plates can occur on a single fault or on a group of faults.
