Answer:

B. As new rocks are formed along mid-ocean ridges, older rocks are pushed down deep into the Earth into ocean trenches.

<h2>Why is the Earth not getting larger if the sea floor is slowly spreading?</h2>

Mainly due to the Atlantic experiencing seabed expansion. The sea bottom is subducting, or moving underground, in the Pacific. This is how the Earth's tectonic plates and geological activities function. The top side of the mantle travels to the bottom at one end and to the top at the other, similar to a conveyor belt. This explains why there are volcanoes, why continents drift, and why our planet's surface is continually changing over the span of millions of years.

Therefore, the planet is not getting bigger because its surface is constantly recycling itself.

What could be some benefits and drawbacks of artificial selection?
hammer [34]
The benefits of artificial selection is that you've taken the traits that you desire from a plant or an animal that could benefit your own survival. (Much like our ancestors bred the highest/most efficient crops, leaving us in a good farming position today). However, the drawbacks of artificial selection is that you effectively destroy any natural selection or "survival of the fittest" thus reducing the gene pool. If a virus or bacteria was effective against a crop that we bred, it would destroy our entire farming industry (also works with animals that we breed).
