A divergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other. Along these boundaries, lava spews from long fissures and geysers spurt superheated water. Frequent earthquakes strike along the rift. Beneath the rift, magma—molten rock—rises from the mantle. It oozes up into the gap and hardens into solid rock, forming new crust on the torn edges of the plates. Magma from the mantle solidifies into basalt, a dark, dense rock that underlies the ocean floor. Thus at divergent boundaries, oceanic crust, made of basalt, is created.
When two plates come together, it is known as a convergent boundary. The impact of the two colliding plates buckles the edge of one or both plates up into a rugged mountain range, and sometimes bends the other down into a deep seafloor trench. A chain of volcanoes often forms parallel to the boundary, to the mountain range, and to the trench. Powerful earthquakes shake a wide area on both sides of the boundary.
If one of the colliding plates is topped with oceanic crust, it is forced down into the mantle where it begins to melt. Magma rises into and through the other plate, solidifying into new crust. Magma formed from melting plates solidifies into granite, a light colored, low-density rock that makes up the continents. Thus at convergent boundaries, continental crust, made of granite, is created, and oceanic crust is destroyed.
Hope this helps.
At night, everything cools down. The air condenses at a low level (as in land/sea level).
Throughout the day, the sun is out and heats up the particles in the fog. Making it rise. Heat, in other words, rises.
Fog is a form of condensation, or also known as a cloud.
I hope this helps! (:
True, first the horse ppl invade then and start pillaging and what not. then china brakes in a bunch of pieces. then it rebuilt its self. then mongols, then japan, then Chinese civil war now modern day COMMUNIST china.<span />
Answer:
Explanation:
Plate movement at transform boundaries can sometimes cause earthquakes, some quite large and devastating. Crustal movements can be dangerous to humans. What evidence from the text supports this conclusion? Divergent boundaries in the ocean create a chain reaction that pulls plates apart on land.
