Question

Select the statement(s) that are true about divergent boundaries.

Divergent boundaries occur where two plates move away from each other.

Mid-ocean ridges form at convergent boundaries deep in the ocean.

The longest mountain range in the world is found in the pacific ocean.

Seafloor spreading is the creation of new ocean floor when molten rock moves into the opening at a divergent boundary.

The northern part of the mid-atlantic ridge is caused by the moving apart from the north american and eurasian plates.

Answer 1

True:
- Divergent boundaries occur where two plates move away from each other.
- Seafloor spreading is the creation of new ocean floor when molten rock fills the opening at a divergent boundary.
- The northern part of the Mid‑Atlantic Ridge is produced by the North American and Eurasian plates moving apart.

False:
- Mid‑ocean ridges form at convergent boundaries — they form at divergent boundaries.
- The longest mountain range is found in the Pacific Ocean — the longest is the global Mid‑Ocean Ridge system (underwater, running through all oceans), with a major continuous segment being the Mid‑Atlantic Ridge.
