There water has a lot of salt in it, so it would be denser. People float better when the water is denser.
Edit: You do mean Ridge?
Rocks near Mid-Ocean Ridge are younger than rocks near the trenches.
Seismic data shows oceanic crust is sinking into the mantle at the trenches.
Matching bands of magnetic rock are found on either side of the Ridge. Earth's magnetic fields change these bands over time.
The answer should be D) Cold air because even though its true sound can travel through all types of matter, air which is a gas, can travel but it travels SLOWLY while sound travels quickly in SOLIDS.
My guess would be because the gravity from the Earth's core is constantly pulling the ball towards the ground. It's like the moon. Why doesn't the moon just float away in space? Because Earth's gravitational pull keeps it rotating around it. Therefore, the ball will always be pulled towards the core which keeps it from from rolling forever due to friction. But i may be wrong, even though this a quite a good answer, hope it is right!
