Megan walls Divergent Plate Boundary

Divergent plate boundary Oceanic Divergent plate boundary occurs beneath oceanic lithosphere the rising convection current below lifts the lithosphere producing a mid-ocean ridge forces stretch the lithosphere and produce a deep fissure when the fissure opens up it pressure is reduced on the super heated mantle material below It melts and the new magma flows in The magma turns solid and the process repeats itself.

Divergent Plate boundaries image This is a picture the Divergent plate Boundary oceanic

What are divergent boundaries Divergent plate boundaries are location where plates are moving away from one another this occurs above rising convection currents.

Divergent Boundaries Places where plate are coming apart are called divergent boundaries The magma goes up Then the lithosphere goes both ways left and right

What do divergent boundaries cause? Divergent boundaries cause magma so it causes volcanos

Divergent plate boundaries Picture of Divergent Plate boundaries

Ending These slides show what are divergent plate boundaries how they are made what is the effect of divergent plate boundaries what it creates and detailed pictures
