Answer:

Mid oceanic ridge

Step-by-step explanation:

The plate boundary between the African and South American plate is most likely a mid - oceanic ridge.

This because the margin is a divergent margin as the motion of the two plates in this region is opposite one another.

The African plate is moving away from the South American plate.

  • As plates moves apart, mantle materials begins to upwell.
  • Then they coalesce along margin edges and push back the plates around them.
  • This builds up series of ridges which is a very prominent underwater feature.
  • The mid-oceanic ridge is very rich in basalt.
