Question

1pt which ocean feature is formed by magma that rises from earths mantle?

a. continental rise

b. continental slope

c. deep sea trench

d. mid - ocean ridge

Explanation:

Mid - ocean ridges are formed by magma rising from the Earth's mantle. Magma wells up at divergent plate boundaries in the ocean, creating new oceanic crust and forming mid - ocean ridges. Continental rise is a depositional feature at the base of the continental slope. Continental slope is the transition zone between the continental shelf and the deep - ocean floor. Deep - sea trenches are formed by the subduction of one tectonic plate beneath another.

Answer:

D. mid - ocean ridge
