Question

which statement describes divergent boundaries?
○ divergent boundaries are found only on land.
○ subduction occurs at divergent boundaries.
○ plates move toward each other at divergent boundaries.
○ magma flows from cracks in the crust at divergent boundaries.

Explanation:

Divergent boundaries are where tectonic plates move apart. They exist both on land (like the East African Rift) and underwater (mid-ocean ridges). Subduction and plates moving toward each other happen at convergent boundaries, not divergent ones. When plates pull apart, crust cracks, allowing magma to rise from the mantle.

Answer:

Magma flows from cracks in the crust at divergent boundaries.
