b

c

d
Mid-Pacific ridge

Answer 1

Answer:

a  Mid-ocean ridge

Explanation:

The middle of the Atlantic ocean is a divergent margin between two oceanic crusts.

As the crusts pulls apart, part of the asthenosphere wells up and forms magmatic bodies around the edges of the plate.

• This forms an extensive mountain ridge called the mid-oceanic ridge.
• It is one of the most prominent landmark on the earth crust.
• As the divergent margins moves apart, the mid oceanic ridge continues to grow.
• The ridge is basaltic in nature.
