Question

Of you get this one right I'll give you a crown

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

Divergent boundary

Step-by-step 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.

Answer 2

The Mid-Atlantic ridge is an example of a constructive plate boundary.

Step-by-step 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.
