Plate boundaries
The correct answer is: Plate boundaries
- At the plate boundaries, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions mainly take place.
- So, the correct option is b.
- Tectonic activity such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and the formation of mountain ranges commonly occurs along the boundaries of the moving plate.

At the boundaries the magma reaches to the surfaces and formation of ridges take place on which area?
- Where plates converge, one plate may move under the other causing earthquakes, forming volcanoes, or creating deep ocean trenches.
- Where plates diverge from each other, molten magma flows upward between the plates, forming mid-ocean ridges, underwater volcanoes, hydrothermal vents, and new ocean floor crust.
