Answer:

Convergent and divergent plate boundaries

Explanation:

In a convergent plate boundary, two plates move towards each other. Due to the impact, the heavier tectonic plate subducts beneath the lighter plate. This results in the formation of a subduction zone, and there forms a trench above this zone. The rocks at greater depths, melts and mixes up with the magma and eventually rises upward, towards the surface in the over-riding plate, giving rise to the formation of volcanoes and volcanic arcs.

In a divergent plate boundary, two plates move away from one another. Due to this opposite motion of plates, there occur cracks on the seafloor and land areas, from where the magma comes out. With continuous spreading, there forms a ridge, which is commonly known as the mid-oceanic ridge. This type of plate boundary is responsible for the formation and expansion of the ocean basin. For example, the mid-Atlantic ridge.

How do ridges and rises differ? Rises are broader and more gently sloped than ridges. Divergence occurs more quickly at a ridge.
Leni [432]

Answer:

Option (3)

Explanation:

Mid-oceanic ridges are the regions along which two distinct plates move away from one another. This type of plate boundary is known as the divergent plate boundary.

Whereas a rise occurs along a divergent plate boundary and is mostly associated with the region of hot-spots, where the magma is forced to rise up forming a gently steeper underwater highland area.

Both these features occur in a divergent plate boundary and plays an important role in pushing the continents apart. So we can conclude that the rises are mostly associated with the region of hot-spots, and ridges are formed due to the seafloor spreading at divergent plate boundaries.

Hence, the correct answer is option (3).
