Question

In the tectonic cycle, new but recycled lithosphere rises to the ground at _________ boundaries and can be subducted at __________ boundaries.

Answer 1

Divergent

Convergent

Step-by-step explanation:

In a divergent plate motion, the two plates move in the opposite direction. Due to this, the uprising magma forces to come out on the seafloor, along the mid-oceanic ridge. This initially starts with the uplifting of the lithosphere due to the convection current that forms in the mantle and eventually led to the eruption of magma at the seafloor.

In a convergent plate motion, the two plates move towards each other. Due to this, the heavier plate goes down below the lighter plate, resulting in the formation of the subduction zone. The lithosphere (denser plate) starts melting at greater depth. Thus, this type of plate boundary forces the lithosphere to move downward.

Thus, the correct answers are mentioned above.
