What crustal feature is a result of divergent plate movement?
Mid-ocean ridge
Can plate movement occur when a plate is pushed away from an ocean trench during a process called ridge push?
A convergent boundary between a continental plate and an oceanic plate results in a ocean trench because the basalt in the oceanic plate is denser than the granite in the continental plate, causing the oceanic plate to sink underneath, into the mantle.
How does new mid-ocean ridge form?
a mid-ocean ridje is an undersea mountain chain where new ocean floor is produced;a divergent plate boundary under the ocean.
What is a ridge push?
Ridge push is a gravitation force that causes a plate to move away from the crest of an ocean ridge, and into a subduction zone.
What ocean is least deep?
The pacific as a long ridge runs down the middle due to plate movement

What is ocean ridges formed by?
An ocean ridge is and underwater mountain range which is formed in the same way as an above water mountain range, by plate tectonics.
What is the fastest spreading divergent plate boundary?
The mid-ocean ridge system is the longest continuous divergent plate boundary on Earth.
What might you find at the mid ocean ridge?
