Question

Which type of plate boundary is most closely associated with the formation of new ocean floor?

Answer 1

Answer:

C) Divergent

Explanation:

Magma which is present in the underlying mantle comes out at divergent plate boundaries. The reason of coming out magma is that heat in the mantle makes the crust less dense. After coming out, magma cools down and solidifies to form a new ocean floor.  Hence, divergent plate boundary is most closely related with formation of new ocean floor.
