Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

The new sea floor are formed along the mid-oceanic ridge, in a divergent plate tectonic setting where two plates move in the opposite direction. The convection current that forms in the mantle forces the magma of basaltic composition to rise up and results in the formation of cracks through which the magma erupt at the seafloor. These magma are deposited along this mid-oceanic ridge where the new materials are added and the rocks formed in and around this ridge are the youngest rocks.

Thus, the source of this magma is the mantle.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).

Do you think that the soles of of your feet or the back of your neck has the greater concentration of sensory receptors
mars1129 [50]
The soles of people’s feet have a greater concentration of sensory receptors because more people are ticklish on the bottoms of their feet than the backs of their necks. There are more neurons in your appendages especially the ends of them because they are the furthest from the brain. Getting a tattoo on your feet vs. the back of your neck hurts more as well, making the soles of your feet have the greater concentration.
