Volcanoes for many different tectonic settings at mid ocean range

Question

A.) volcanoes are unable to build up above sea level
B.) lava wraps and builds between two tectonic plates that move toward each other
C.) abs and builds up between two tectonic plates that move away from each other
D.) volcanoes form only on one side of the ridge

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

C.) lava wraps and builds up between two tectonic plates that move away from each other.

In mid-ocean ridges, tectonic plates are diverging, and as they move apart, magma rises from the mantle to fill the gap, forming new crust and creating underwater volcanoes. Over time, this process can lead to the formation of features such as ridges and underwater mountains.
