Understanding Divergent Plate Boundaries

The video explains divergent plate boundaries, where Earth's crust separates, using a cookie analogy. It describes how magma moves upward to fill the space, forming new crust. This process is linked to earthquakes and occurs globally, especially in oceans.

What is a divergent plate boundary compared to in the video?

• A cracked egg

• A melting ice cream

• A sliced bread

• A broken cookie

Where do most earthquakes occur according to the video?

• At the poles

• In the middle of the ocean

• Near the surface

• Deep within the Earth's core

What happens when the Earth's crust pulls apart?

• It causes tsunamis

• It leads to volcanic eruptions

• It creates space for magma to rise

• It forms mountains

What is the result of magma cooling after moving upward?

• Emergence of a new island

• Development of a trench

• Creation of a volcano

• Formation of new crust

What do the pink lines on maps represent in the context of the video?

• Regions where the crust is separating

• Areas of high volcanic activity

• Boundaries of tectonic plates

• Locations of major earthquakes
