1. mid-ocean ridges are ________.

○ created when earths plates push together
○ underwater mountains that spring up where two plates are moving together
○ underwater mountains that spring up where two plates are moving apart
○ underwater valleys that are found where two plates are moving apart

Explanation:

Mid-ocean ridges form at divergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates move away from each other. Magma rises from the mantle, cools, and builds up to create underwater mountain ranges. Options describing plates pushing together (convergent boundaries) or underwater valleys are incorrect.

Answer:

underwater mountains that spring up where two plates are moving apart
