- CMelting of the subducting plate
- DLower topography than surrounding sea floor
- EContinental rift
11Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of a mid-ocean divergent boundary?
- AAs the plates move apart, solid lithosphere moves upward into the asthenosphere.
- BSubmarine lava flows form new ocean crust.
- CMid-ocean ridges are elevated above the surrounding seafloor.
- DA rift runs along the axis of mid-ocean ridges because of movement as the plates diverge from each other.
