There are two types of divergent plate boundaries, namely continental-continental and oceanic-oceanic. Answer Key False, because the correct statement is: The constantly-evolving Himalayas is not an example of a divergent boundary. True False, because the correct statement is: Continental plates...
An analogy for tectonic plates is the pieces of a puzzle. The puzzle pieces fit together, and they can slide across the table. The different ways the pieces move are like the three types of boundaries: Convergent Divergent Transform Convergent Boundary Definition A convergent boundary is a...
Definition:A divergent boundary is a linear feature on the Earth's surface where two tectonic plates move apart from each other, leading to the upwelling of magma from the mantle which then cools to form new crust. This process results in the creation of mid-ocean ridges in oceanic settings ...
An oceanic-continental convergent boundary is characterized by the collision of a denser oceanic plate with a less dense continental plate. As anticipated, owing to its higher density, the oceanic plate subducts beneath the continental plate. Similar to oceanic-oceanic convergence, the subduction zone...
A diverging plate boundary forms between the two parts of the split plate. However, rifting frequently fails to completely break the continental lithosphere (as in an aulacogen), and unsuccessful rifts are distinguished by volcanoes erupting peculiar alkali lava or carbonatites. The East African Rift...

Slab pull occurs at a convergent boundary and subduction zone. The force of the dense oceanic plate subducting under the continental plate and gravitationally being pulled into the mantle results in the rest of the plate being pulled along with it. Ridge push occurs along a divergent boundary. ...
Other experiences, such as the mock board meeting of a technology company to which students from different backgrounds brought in divergent business strategies, affirmed my belief in the importance of working toward a more inclusive global community. I believe the United States, more so than any ...
Transform faults connect divergent or convergent plate boundaries that can be characterised on the basis of structural and geodynam- ic criteria. Interplate SSDB connect divergent or con- vergent intraplate (extended or compressed) belts and, as conjugate belts, contribute to the internal shortening ...
