At divergent<span> plate boundaries, two </span>lithospheric<span> plates move apart, and new plate (and crust) are created at the boundary. The new crust is created volcanically. This process always produces ocean crust and thus </span>oceanic<span> plate. Thus </span>divergent <span>boundaries ultimately become mid-ocean ridges.</span>

Oceanic lithosphere is lighter than continental lithosphere.<br> Select one:<br> True<br> False
Svet_ta [14]

The correct answer is - True.

Oceanic lithosphere is lighter than the continental lithosphere, and this is because the oceanic lithosphere is thinner than the continental lithosphere. The oceanic lithosphere is softer and thinner, and in this parts the geologic activities are much more intense because the high temperature and pressure from the mantle manage to penetrate these parts easier and push magma upwards, creating volcanoes in meantime, as well as lots of earthquakes.
