Question
Due to the plates’________ movement, gaps and cracks are produced at the plate boundaries.
- Transform
- Convergent
- Divergent
- All of these
The correct answer is: Divergent
Divergent plate movements occur when two lithospheric plates move away from each other. This causes gaps and cracks at the plate boundaries. Magma from the mantle of the Earth rises through these cracks, cools and solidifies to form a new crust.
