Question

1. what process describes how new land is created?○ two plates move apart at a divergent boundary; mid-ocean ridges spring up, the seafloor spreads, new land comes up.○ mid-ocean ridges spring up; the seafloor spreads; two plates move apart at a divergent boundary; new land comes up.○ two plates move apart at a divergent boundary; the seafloor spreads; mid-ocean ridges spring up; new land comes up.○ the seafloor spreads; two plates move apart at a divergent boundary; mid-ocean ridges spring up; new land comes up.

Explanation:

This is the correct sequential process of new land creation at divergent plate boundaries: first, tectonic plates move apart at a divergent boundary. This allows magma to rise, forming mid-ocean ridges. As the ridges form, seafloor spreading occurs, and over time, the rising material and spreading create new land.

Answer:

Two plates move apart at a divergent boundary; mid-ocean ridges spring up, the seafloor spreads, new land comes up.
