Answer 1

Answer:

Mid-Ocean Ridges

Explanation:

The mid-ocean ridges is an underwater mountain system formed by diverging oceanic plates.

• This mid - ocean ridge is one of the prominent land mass on the earth surface.
• At a diverging center, two tectonic plates are pulling apart from one another.

• The magma then crystallize to form an extensive ridge network known as the mid - oceanic ridge.
