Question

  1. which of these are most likely to happen at divergent tectonic plate boundaries?

one plate will fold and go below the other one.
none of these can happen at divergent plate boundaries.
magma from earths interior can come to the surface.
the two plates crumple together, causing mountain ranges to rise.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Divergent tectonic plate boundaries are where plates move apart. At these boundaries, the gap allows magma from the Earth's interior (mantle) to rise to the surface, forming new crust (e.g., mid - ocean ridges). The option “One plate will fold and go below the other one” describes subduction (convergent boundaries). “The two plates crumple together, causing mountain ranges to rise” is for convergent boundaries (continental - continental collision). “None of these can happen” is incorrect as magma rising is a key process at divergent boundaries.

Answer:

Magma from Earth's interior can come to the surface.
