Question

Which of the following tectonic settings does NOT produce volcanism? A. continental hot spots divergent B. continental-continental boundary transform boundary C. convergent oceanic-oceanic boundary D. divergent oceanic-oceanic boundary

Answer 1

Answer:

D. divergent oceanic-oceanic boundary

Explanation:

• The oceanic and oceanic divergent plate boundary is a plate boundary were in the two oceanic plates moves away from each other and is an example of the mid-oceanic ridges in the mid-Atlantic ocean,

• Due to the cooling of the magmas on both the sides and the spreading of the seafloor as a result of this. This zone is the place of the construction of the new sea surface and does not show volcanism.
