Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A	African Plate and the Eurasian Plate
B	Pacific Plate and the Philippine Plate
C	Indian-Australian Plate and the AntarcticPlate
D	South American Plate and the North American Plate

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Expert-Verified Answer. The crustal formation is most likely occurring at the boundary between the Indian-Australian Plate and the Antarctic Plate . Thus, the correct option for this question is C.

Detailed explanation-2: -What type of plate boundary exists between the Indian-Australian Plate and the Antarctic Plate? Divergent plate boundary.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Hikurangi tectonic plate boundary is a convergent boundary. This means that the Australian and Pacific plates are pushing against each other. There are two kinds of plates – oceanic and continental plates.

Detailed explanation-4: -The majority of plate boundaries for the Scotia Plate are transform boundaries. This means that the Scotia Plate moves past other plates without directly colliding with them or moving away from them. However, the eastern edge of the Scotia Plate forms a divergent plate boundary along the Eastern Scotia Ridge.

Detailed explanation-5: -Divergent boundaries are spreading boundaries, where new oceanic crust is created to fill in the space as the plates move apart. Most divergent boundaries are located along mid-ocean oceanic ridges (although some are on land).
