Imagine that you could dive deep into the Atlantic Ocean where the South American Plate and African Plates meet at a plate boundary.

Make a prediction: What do you think you would see at the plate boundary? Would you see the mantle? Why or why not?

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a divergent boundary but you will not see the mantle because the water will soften the rock in the mantle.
