Answer:

Convection currents push up on parts of the plate. Then gravity pulls on those areas, bringing them downward. And, as these areas move lower, the ridges then push the plates away and outward.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

A) Divergent currents push up part of the plates. Then gravity pulls on those areas, bringing them downward. And, as these areas move lower, the ridges then push the plates away and outward.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The movement of plate tectonics is governed by two forces namely the ridge push and gravitational force. When the hot magma rises due to ridge rush on the spreading sea floor it creates higher elevation when it cools and solidifies.

The divergent movement causes new solidified magma back to the subduction zone due to the gravitational pull. The downward pull of plate motion is prompted by the weight of the older and dense plate material which sinks back at the ocean trenches causing slab pull.

Order the steps of continental volcanic arc formation. (4 items) (Drag and drop into the appropriate area) An accretionary prism
stealth61 [152]

2. A subduction trench forms where the subducting plate bends downward into the mantle

1. An accretionary prism begins to form

4. Magma, created by flux melting of the mantle, rises through the overriding plate

3. Lava erupts onto the surface, forming volvanes

Volcanoes on the ocean floor erupt to create oceanic islands, often referred to as volcanic islands. Oceanic islands are also called as "high islands," regardless of their height. Low islands are continental and coral islands, which can be hundreds of metres taller than high islands. Even though they are encircled by water, continents are not categorised as islands because of their size. The smallest continent, Australia, is more than three times larger than the largest island, Greenland. In every ocean, lake, and river in the world, there are innumerable islands.
