How does the process of ridge push cause the formation of new oceans?


A.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


B.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


C.Ridge push causes plates to move apart from one another, creating a deep trench that eventually widens enough to become a new ocean
