Divergent Plate Boundary.
Creation of new ocean floor/oceanic lithosphere, at the boundary of diverging tectonic plate.
No, mid-ocean ridges are not located mostly along coastlines. Mid-ocean ridges are underwater mountain ranges that form where tectonic plates are pulling apart. They are located in the middle of the ocean and can extend for thousands of kilometers.
Two tectonic plates move apart, allowing for geologic activity along the boundary that slowly build a ridgeline along the bottom of the ocean.
A divergent boundary are two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other, rather than into each other. This can cause rifts, valleys, and ocean ridges.
Divergent Plate Boundary.
Mid-ocean ridges are located at undersea divergent plate boundaries.

At the mid-ocean ridges, a divergent plate boundary.
No, mid-ocean ridges are not located mostly along coastlines. Mid-ocean ridges are underwater mountain ranges that form where tectonic plates are pulling apart. They are located in the middle of the ocean and can extend for thousands of kilometers.
two tectonic plates meet usually at mid ocean ridges (eg Iceland) and at destructive plate boundaries (eg Japan).
Two tectonic plates move apart, allowing for geologic activity along the boundary that slowly build a ridgeline along the bottom of the ocean.
The shifting of tectonic plates which cause sea-floor spreading which is located in mid-ocean ridges.
The mid-ocean ridge is formed along a divergent or constructive plate boundary between two plates of oceanic crust.
A divergent boundary are two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other, rather than into each other. This can cause rifts, valleys, and ocean ridges.
Mid-ocean Ridges.
they form around mid-ocean ridges
