Which of the following is most likely to form when hot magma rises up as tectonic plates move apart below the ocean?
Answers
A mid-ocean ridge or mid-oceanic ridge is an underwater mountain range, formed by plate tectonics. 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.
The mid Ocean Ridge also called the mid oceanic ridge is a small mountain ranges connecting to tectonic plates in under the surface of the water in the ocean.
When this to tectonic plates move it creates an earthquake in the surface of the soil and it creates a Tsunami in the surface of the water. This earthquake is liable to cause fracture of the surface of the Earth which cause hot Magma to come out from the surface. This hot Magma later solidifies under the surface of the ocean.
