Answer:

Explanation and answer below

Explanation:

Ridge push causes a rift valley; as the plates move apart, a new ocean basin forms, filling with water and eventually becoming a mature ocean. Ridge push causes a convergent plate boundary; as the plates move together, new islands form, which “trap” water between them, causing an ocean to form.
