1. It is generally non-explosive.
2. It leads to the formation of a newer crust.
3. Mid oceanic ridge is the result of such eruptions.

Select the correct answer:

• A. 1,2 only
• B. 1,2 and 3
• C. 1,3 only
• D. 2,3 only

Answer 1

The correct option is B 1,2 and 3

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Divergent boundaries create cracks for magma to come out easily, leading to no explosion or very less explosions. Accumulation of lava at the crack leads to the formation of a newer plate in the form of Mid oceanic ridges such as Mid-Atlantic ridge.
