Mid-ocean ridges are segmented and contain which two basic types of plate boundaries linked together?
A) divergent and convergent
B) convergent and transform
C) divergent and transform
D) divergent and hot spot

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mid-ocean ridges are classified as divergent plate boundaries because they occur where two plates move away from each other. However, since the ridges are segmented, they also contain transform faults where the plates slide past each other horizontally. Therefore, the two basic types of plate boundaries linked together in mid-ocean ridges are divergent and transform.
