Question
what geologic feature/event would you most likely to find at a divergent boundary between two pieces of oceanic crust? rift valley flat land mid - ocean ridge island arc
Brief Explanations
To solve this, we analyze each option:
- Rift Valley: Forms at divergent boundaries on continental crust, not oceanic.
- Flat land: Not a typical feature of divergent oceanic boundaries.
- Mid - Ocean Ridge: Forms when two oceanic crusts diverge, as magma rises to create new crust.
- Island Arc: Forms at convergent boundaries (oceanic - oceanic subduction), not divergent.
