Question

  1. which ocean is expanding due to a mid - ocean ridge?

dead sea
indian
atlantic
arctic

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The Mid - Atlantic Ridge is a mid - ocean ridge located in the Atlantic Ocean. Mid - ocean ridges are divergent plate boundaries where new oceanic crust is formed. As new crust is created at the Mid - Atlantic Ridge, the Atlantic Ocean is expanding. The Dead Sea is a salt lake, not an ocean. The Indian Ocean has mid - ocean ridges but the most well - known example of an ocean expanding due to a mid - ocean ridge is the Atlantic. The Arctic Ocean also has ridges but its expansion due to a mid - ocean ridge is not as prominent as the Atlantic's.

Answer:

Atlantic
