The mid-ocean ridge is formed along a divergent or constructive plate boundary between two plates of oceanic crust.
Explain the difference between mechanical and chemical weathering?
In chemical weathering, there is a chemical reaction that causes weathering. Mechanical weathering is caused by fire, abrasions of water along a surface, animals, or freezing and thawing.
