Question 5 of 10

Ocean ridges are formed by

A. convergent boundaries
B. transform boundaries
C. subduction zones
D. divergent boundaries



Answer :

Final answer:

Ocean ridges are formed by divergent boundaries at mid-ocean ridges through magma generation.


Explanation:

Ocean ridges are formed by divergent boundaries where plates move apart, creating new oceanic crust. This process occurs mainly at mid-ocean ridges, where magma is generated through partial melting of the mantle, leading to the formation of underwater mountain ranges.
