Question

question 18 of 30 mid - ocean ridges are places where tectonic plates are doing what? a colliding b sliding past each other c spreading apart d none of the above

Explanation:

Mid-ocean ridges form at divergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates move away from one another. Magma rises from the mantle to fill the gap, creating new oceanic crust. Colliding plates form convergent boundaries, and sliding plates form transform boundaries, which do not describe mid-ocean ridges.

Answer:

C. Spreading apart
