Why does melting occur at divergent plate boundaries

Explanation:

As plates move apart at the divergent plate boundary the release of pressure produces partial melting of the underlying mantle. This molten material, known as magma, is basaltic in composition and is buoyant. As a result, it wells up from below and cools close to the surface to generate new crust

At divergent plate boundaries hot mantle rock rises into the space where the plates are moving apart. The rock is under lower pressure; this lowers the melting temperature of the rock and so it melts.

the correct answers are:

a - pacific plate;

it is the biggest oceanic tectonic plate. surrounded on all sides by continental tectonic plates, it is submerging and gradually becoming smaller and smaller.

b - north american plate;

huge continental plate, occupying big portion of the northern hemisphere.

c -eurasian plate;

alongside the north american plate, it is one of the two dominant continental plates in the northern hemisphere.

d - indian plate;

a small continental plate, that has been part of gondwanaland initially, but after the break up of it, moved towards northeast and pushed into the eurasian plate that was once part of laurasia.
