Where would you expect to find lava solidifying into basalt? a. near the boundary ocean crust and continental crust b. along the continental slope c. in the center of the continents d. in the center of the mid-ocean ridge

Option (D)

Explanation:

In an oceanic-oceanic divergent type of plate boundary, where two plates move apart from each other, the hot uprising magma comes out to the ocean floor along the mid-oceanic ridge, where the new materials are added to the crust. Here the lava solidifies and forms basaltic rocks, which are fine-grained in nature. The rocks near and along this mid-oceanic ridge are the youngest and as the rocks move away from this ridge, their age simultaneously increases.

Thus, the basalt rocks are formed at the center of the mid-oceanic ridge.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).
