Question

How do rock bodies move on a divergent fault's plane?

Answer 1

In plate tectonics, a divergent boundary or divergent plate boundary (also known as a constructive boundary or an extensional boundary) is a linear feature that exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other.

Answer 2

In physics, tension describes the pulling force exerted by each end of a string, cable, chain, or similar one-dimensional continuous object, or by each end of a rod, truss member, or similar three dimensional object.

Answer 3

So on a divergent fault's plane, the rocks would move because of tensional force.

Answer 4
