Question
- how do convergent plate boundaries differ from divergent plate boundaries?
□ how much distance the plates move and
□ the flow of energy (where it comes from, wh
□ the flow of matter (where it comes from, wh
□ the feature that forms them
- an example of a divergent plate boundary is:
a. spreading ridge
b. subduction zone
c. hot spot
A divergent plate boundary is where tectonic plates move apart. A spreading ridge is a classic example of a divergent plate boundary where new crust is formed as magma rises to fill the gap between the separating plates. A sub - duction zone is a convergent plate boundary where one plate moves under another. A hot spot is a location where magma rises from deep within the mantle, not related to plate boundaries in the same way as a spreading ridge.
