Question

In the middle of the Atlantic ocean, molten rock continually pours out of volcanoes along a tectonic plate boundary where plates are pulling apart. The molten rock cools and hardens as it slides down either side of the plate boundary's mid-ocean ridge.
Which of the following best describes this process?
Choose 1 answer:
A mountain building at a convergent boundary
B sea-floor spreading at a convergent boundary
C sea-floor spreading at a divergent boundary Dmountain building at a divergent boundary​

Answer 1

Answer:

C. sea-floor spreading at a divergent boundary

Explanation:

"A" and "D" is incorrect because the action is the seafloor, not the mountain

"B" is incorrect because the passage states the seafloor is pulling apart not pushing in

(Sea-floor is the tectonic plate boundary)

Hope this helps!
