Question

Which plate boundary and movement commonly create ridges, like the Mid-Atlantic Oceanic Ridge? Explain how ridges can be created by plate tectonics.

Answer 1

The Mid-Atlantic ridge is an example of a constructive plate boundary. Explanation:This uplifting of the ocean floor occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary.
