Continental Plate...?

• Holds water

• Holds land

• Is a Mid-Ocean ridge

• Never moves

Mid Ocean Ridge is...

• Created when water moves the plates

• Created by sea floor spreading, when oceanic oceanic plates move apart from each other

• Created by continental continental plates spreading apart at a divergent boundary

• Created by rift valleys

Rift Valley is ...

• Created by continental continental plates spreading apart at a divergent boundaries

• Created by water moving the plates

• Created by sea floor spreading when oceanic oceanic plates move apart from each other

What happens to the magma that comes up at divergent boundaries?

• It turns green

• Nothing happens to the magma

• The magma melts

• The magma cools and hardens

What makes the mountains at a Mid Ocean Ridge?

• Eathquakes

• The old land pushes the new land away

• The new land pushes the old land away

• Water pushing the plates apart

After magma cools and hardens it...

• Forms new land

• Melts into more magma

• Turns to water

• Just stays the same

At divergent boundaries plates are moving away from each other. What's happens in the space left between them?

• Magma comes up and cools and hardens making new land

• Air comes up and fills the gap

• Water comes up and fills the gap

• Grass comes up and fills the gap
