Based on your knowledge of volcanoes and volcanic products,you can say with confidence that the outcrop in the image below formed ________.

A)on land at a continental hotspot 
B)underwater at a subduction zone 
C)on land at a continental rift 
D)underwater at a mid-ocean ridge

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The outcrop in the image appears to be a pillow lava, which is a volcanic rock that forms when lava erupts underwater and solidifies quickly, forming tube-like structures. This type of volcanic activity is commonly found at mid-ocean ridges, where tectonic plates are spreading apart and new oceanic crust is formed. Therefore, option D is the best choice.
