Question: 1 / 400

What type of plate boundary is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge?

Oceanic-Continental

Continental-Continental

Oceanic-Oceanic

The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a divergent plate boundary where two oceanic plates are moving away from each other. This means that the correct answer is C Oceanic-Oceanic.

Option A is incorrect because it describes a boundary where an oceanic plate is subducting under a continental plate, which is not the case for the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

Option B is incorrect because it describes a boundary where two continental plates are colliding, which also does not apply to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

Option D is incorrect because it describes a boundary where two plates slide past each other, which is more commonly found at transform plate boundaries.
