True or false? As divergent boundary plates move apart, magma from the asthenosphere moves to Earth's surface. This phenomenon led to the formation of mid-ocean ridges, which resemble undersea mountain ranges

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Magma forms from partial melting of mantle rocks. As the rocks move upward (or have water added to them), they start to melt a little bit. Eventually the pressure from the bubbles are stronger than the surrounding solid rock and the surrounding rock fractures, allowing the magma to get to the surface.\

I hope this helps! :3
