Question

question 4(multiple choice worth 4 points) (03.04 mc) which of the following is most likely to form when tectonic plates move away from each other? mid - ocean ridge earthquake subduction zone oceanic trench

Explanation:

When tectonic plates move apart (divergent boundary), magma rises to fill the gap. This leads to the formation of mid - ocean ridges. Earthquakes can occur at all plate boundaries. Subduction zones and oceanic trenches form at convergent boundaries where one plate is forced under another.

Answer:

Mid - ocean ridge
