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)conformal and transvergent

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mid-ocean ridges are formed at divergent plate boundaries where the lithospheric plates move away from each other. However, mid-ocean ridges are not continuous and are segmented. The ridges are linked together by transform faults, where two plates slide past each other horizontally. Therefore, the two basic types of plate boundaries linked together at mid-ocean ridges are divergent and transform boundaries.
