Question
select the statement(s) that are true about divergent boundaries. seafloor spreading is the creation of new ocean floor when molten rock moves into the opening at a divergent boundary. divergent boundaries occur where two plates move away from each other. mid - ocean ridges form at convergent boundaries deep in the ocean. the longest mountain range in the world is found in the pacific ocean. the northern part of the mid - atlantic ridge is caused by the moving apart from the north american and eurasian plates.
Seafloor spreading occurs at divergent boundaries where two tectonic plates move apart and molten rock rises to create new ocean - floor. Mid - ocean ridges form at divergent boundaries, not convergent ones. The longest mountain range in the world is the mid - ocean ridge system which is not mainly in the Pacific Ocean. The separation of the northern part of the mid - Atlantic ridge is due to the movement of the North American and Eurasian plates moving apart.
