Based on the information provided regarding the model of convection currents and tectonic plates in the middle of the ocean, the following inferences can be made:
A. The seafloor is spreading.
E. The plates are moving apart on top of the convection current.
Choices B, C, and D are not correct based on the typical representation of oceanic mid-ridge systems, where the plates are generally moving apart rather than together or in the same direction.
