Divergent plate boundaries occur along spreading centercenters where plates are moving apart and new lithosphere is created by magma pushing up from the mantle.
A simple theory of earthquakes according to quantum mechanicsAbstract : Major earthquakes occur mainly on subduction plate boundaries, but what causes the along strike earthquake segmentation remains poorly understood. Tectonics and GeodynamicsSome of that stress build-up is released through continuous plate movement, but remaining stress can accumulate over time and cause large events. The role of the Investigator Fracture Zone in the Sumatra subduction ...When the fOrce becomes too,great, the rodks move dgainst each other:causing an earthquake. Different types of. movement of adjacent plates may occur. Plate ...
