Visit the Interactive Plate Boundary Map to explore satellite images of divergent boundaries between oceanic plates. Two locations are marked: 1) the Mid-Atlantic Ridge exposed above sea level on the island of Iceland, and 2) the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between North America and Africa.
In a geotectonic context the SW Pacific sits on the western extremity of the large Pacific plate, resulting in a broad array of geotectonic situations where convergent plate boundary...
5 Σεπ 2024 · Divergent Boundaries: Plates move apart (Spreading Center and Extension Zone). Convergent Boundaries : Plates move towards each other (Subduction Zone and Collision Zone). Transform Boundaries : Plates slide past each other (Dextral Transform and Sinistral Transform).
A map of the tectonic plates of the earth showing the different boundary types in different colors. Locations where plates collide (convergent boundaries) are shown in red. Locations where plates are spreading (divergent boundaries) are shown in yellow.

30 Ιαν 2020 · Divergent Boundaries. Continental divergent plates exist in East Africa and Iceland, but most of the divergent boundaries are between oceanic plates. As the plates split apart, whether, on land or the ocean floor, magma rises to fill in the empty space. It cools and latches onto the spreading plates, creating new earth.
3 Οκτ 2024 · The divergent boundary between the African Plate and the Arabian Plate formed the Red Sea. Use this plate boundary map layer to explore how the movement of the plates causes earthquakes, volcanoes, or shapes Earth’s landscape. Use this Map Layer in the Classroom
