Plates and Basins

, Why is there Magma at the MOR?
• The two plates are moving away from each other, so the pressure on
the mantle decreases, which causes partial melting.
• This low density melt and hot mantle holds the ridge up and keeps it
buoyant.

, Earthquakes as Evidence
• Shallow focus earthquakes are caused by:
 Normal faults
 Transform faults
 Harmonic tremors
