multiple - choice question
mid - ocean ridges are created at what type of boundary?
divergent continental - continental
divergent oceanic - oceanic
rewatch
Mid - ocean ridges are formed when two oceanic plates move apart (diverge). As they separate, magma rises from the mantle to fill the gap, creating new oceanic crust. This process occurs at divergent boundaries. Continental - continental boundaries involve the collision of two continental plates (e.g., the formation of the Himalayas). Since mid - ocean ridges are in the ocean, the relevant boundary is divergent oceanic - oceanic.
