The answer is that molten material seeps through as plates move apart. While the others: the crust is uplifted to form mountains,a plate that slides below the other melts. and plates move towards each other to form faults. are features of convergent plate boundary.

Let's look into it one by one:

The crust is uplifted to form mountains.- This is false

Although when the plates collide towards each other, the rock materials would accumulate to form mountains indeed, this is not a divergent plate boundary.

A plate that slides below the other melts. - This is false

It is true that the one of the plate which is usually the denser oceanic plate would subducts under the less dense continental plate. Under the heat of magma in the mantle, the plate material would melt. However the plate boundary of this would be convergent plate boundary.

Plates move towards each other to form faults.-This is incorrect.

This is also false. When plates move towards each other, the material accumulated may soon crack under the pressure and form faults. However this is an activity of convergent plate boundary,not divergent plate boundary.

Molten material seeps through as plates move apart.-This is correct.

This is correct as the plates move apart,uprising magma would seep in the cracks to form new crustal materials.

Therefore the answer is molten material seeps through as plates move apart.

Hope it helps!

storchak [24]

Question

Mid-ocean ridges are steeper and less broad than rises because:

Group of answer choices

A) the rocks of the mid-ocean ridges are composed of more dense mineral than the rises.

B) the rocks of the mid-ocean ridges are composed of less dense mineral than the rises.

C) The seafloor spreading rate of ridges are faster than rises causing the oceanic crust to subside closer to the ridge axis.

D) The seafloor spreading rate of ridges are slower than rises causing the oceanic crust to subside closer to the ridge axis.

E) Every ridge is composed of continental crust.

Answer:  

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

In volcanic regions, as the molten magma flows out onto the seafloor creating new beds, the faster it flows, the less steep the mid-ocean ridge is. If however, it is slow-flowing, then oceanic lithosphere formed cool closer to the ridge axis thus making it very steep.

Cheers!

Answer:

As we go down deep into the soil, the soil is made up of layers that are in a horizontal direction. These horizons are called O, A, E, B, C, R layers respectively. Amon these A, B, and C are major layers of the soil. Most minerals are found in "A horizon" of the soil and they are incorporated with the organic matter.
