How does the process of ridge push cause the formation of new oceans? ridge push causes a rift valley; as the plates move apart, a new ocean basin forms, filling with water and eventually becoming a mature ocean. ridge push causes a convergent plate boundary; as the plates move together, new islands form, which “trap” water between them, causing an ocean to form. ridge push causes plates to move apart from one another, creating a deep trench that eventually widens enough to become a new ocean. ridge push causes the plates to subduct, causing a deep trench that eventually fills with water and becomes a new ocean.

Answer : Option D)Ridge push causes the plates to subduct, causing a deep trench that eventually fills with water and becomes a new ocean.

Explanation : Ridge push occurs by sliding force of the tectonic plates when a proposed driving force for plate motion in plate tectonics which occurs at mid-ocean ridges as the result of the rigid lithosphere sliding down the hot and raised asthenosphere below mid-ocean ridges. This creates a subduct in the tectonic plates and produces a deep trench which gets filled with water and later becomes a new ocean.

D

Explanation:took quiz

the answer is the first option

explanation:

just googled it m8. not that hard

lol

im not exactly sure but i think its b!
