1. Explain the geologic process of divergence of plates.
Answer (1)
answer:Divergence of plates happens when two tectonic plates move away from each other. As they separate, magma rises from beneath the Earth's surface, cools, and forms new crust. This process creates features like mid-ocean ridges (in oceans) and rift valleys (on land). It can also cause earthquakes and volcanic activity.Example: The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is formed by diverging plates under the ocean.
