Ridge and rise system are over 40,000 miles (65,000 kilometers) long and are found running through every ocean.

The gigantic mid-ocean ridge system is a chain of continuous submarine volcanoes that meanders around the world like the seams in a baseball, stretching nearly 40,000 miles. Mid-ocean ridges occur along divergent plate boundaries where new ocean floors form as the Earth's tectonic plates spread.

When the plates separate, lava rises to the seafloor and huge volcanic eruptions of basalt occur. Spreading speed affects the shape of the ridge. Slower spraying speeds result in steeper, more irregular terrain, while higher spraying speeds result in wider profiles and gentler slopes.

Mid-ocean ridges are places where tectonic plates are doing what?
stich3 [128]

A mid-ocean ridge or mid-oceanic ridge is an underwater mountain range, formed by plate tectonics. This uplifting of the ocean floor occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary.

In which of the following areas would one likely find Aridisols? In which of the following areas would one likely find Aridisols
gregori [183]

Answer:

the U.S. southwest

Explanation:

Aridosols are desert soils, where plant diversity is very low and often nonexistent. These soils are formed in arid and semi-arid regions, such as those found in the Southwestern United States. These soils occur due to the insufficient amount of precipitation in the region, in addition, due to the low vegetation cover, the rain that falls in the region, manages to leach the soluble salts of the soil, allowing them to drain into the deeper layers of the soil, where they can form carbonate, gypsum or saliferous horizons.
