Answer:

Mid-Atlantic Ridge

Step-by-step explanation:

  • It's here that the two oceanic crust split up an leads to the rising of magma or lava from the seafloor and thus this is called a divergent boundary and it leads to the creation of a new crust a new layer of rocks at the strata.
  • Mid Atlantic ridges are existing since the creation of the earth and are a fundamental aspect of the formation of the plats on the surface of the earth. The upwelling of lava from the volcanic eruptions and earthquakes is result of the mantle plumes produced due to the this divergent boundary.
  • Mid Atlantic ridges, thus account for the entire chain of the earth's surface features like mountain ridges, trenches, and deep-sea bottoms. Source of the convergence and other faults.
