Which plate boundary can result in a ridge formation?
Plates move together, the denser oceanic crust slides underneath the continental. The crust melts into magma and pushes up.
Convergent (continental vs. continental crust)
Fossil evidence – fossils of same species found on different continents, Mountain ranges –mountains on different continents
The mantle rock heats up and rises. The mantle rock close to the surface cools and sinks. This is a convection cycle.
Divergent
The plates move apart and magma leaks up and hardens leaving behind a ridge valley.
By sliding past one another.
Convergent with subduction
