Mid-ocean ridges are located at undersea divergent plate boundaries.
divergent
The youngest seafloor is located at mid-ocean ridges, which are divergent plate boundaries where tectonic plates move apart. As new oceanic crust is formed through seafloor spreading, it pushes older crust away from the ridge, making the seafloor at mid-ocean ridges the youngest on Earth.
It forms a convergent boundary with the South American Plate, divergent.
Trenches are typically found at the boundaries of tectonic plates, where one plate is being subducted beneath another. The most well-known trenches are oceanic trenches, found underwater near subduction zones where one tectonic plate sinks beneath another.
The crustal plate found between the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate is the Antarctic Plate.
At mid-ocean ridges, tectonic plates are moving apart, creating new oceanic crust through volcanic activity. This results in the formation of underwater mountain chains and hydrothermal vents, which support unique ecosystems due to the high temperatures and mineral-rich waters.
They are found at a plate boundary. When two plates move apart (divergent) magma rises through the gap.
they form around mid-ocean ridges
the mid ocean ridges cause the magma to form at a convergent plate boundary.

they form around mid-ocean ridges
mid-oceanic ridges are near the mountain range at the divergent boundary
the mid ocean ridges cause the magma to form at a convergent plate boundary.
These ridges are spreading centers or divergent plate boundaries
the mid ocean ridges cause the magma to form at a convergent plate boundary.
Another name for a divergent plate boundary is a constructive plate boundary. This is because new crust is created and the plates move away from each other, leading to the formation of mid-ocean ridges and volcanic activity.
