Plate tectonics can lead to new ecosystems near the ocean floor. Arrange the steps of this process in the correct order.TilesThe area where the ocean is
stretched fills with fresh magma.
The magma cools to form a
mid-ocean ridge with large
openings.Vents release hot, mineral-rich
seawater warmed by magma.A divergent boundary on the
ocean floor causes Earth’s
crust to break apart.Chemicals released by the vent
are converted into organic
compounds by living organisms,
helping them thrive.
