Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of a mid-ocean divergent boundary?

A) As the plates move apart, solid lithosphere move upward into the asthenosphere.
B) Submarine lava flows form new ocean crust.
C) Mid-ocean ridges are elevated above the surrounding seafloor.
D) A rift runs along the axis of mid-ocean ridges because of movement as the plates diverge from each other.

Mid-ocean Divergent Boundary

A tectonic plate boundary where two plates are moving apart, creating new oceanic crust, typically at a mid-ocean ridge.

Submarine Lava Flows

Lava flows that occur beneath the ocean's surface, often originating from underwater volcanoes or fissures, contributing to the formation of new seafloor.

Lithosphere

The rigid outer layer of the Earth, encompassing the crust and the uppermost mantle, responsible for tectonic activities.
