Question

what geologic features formed when two plates moved away from each other?​

Answer 1

"A diverging plate boundary" occurs when two plates move away from each other

Explanation:

• when two plates moved away from "Divergent plate boundaries". Magma rises from deep beneath the Earth and erupts along these boundaries, forming new crust on the lithosphere.
• Underwater, divergent plate borders generate oceanic spreading ridges, which are submerged mountain ranges.
• When two tectonic plates move away from each other, they form a diverging border. Earthquakes are prevalent along these boundaries, and magma (molten rock) rises from the Earth's mantle to the surface, solidifying to form new oceanic crust.
• A convergent boundary is formed when two plates come together.
