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).

Which vitamin can be synthesized in significant amounts by humans and, therefore, may NOT be essential
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

The correct ansqwer is- Vitamin D

Explanation:

Vitamin D is the vitamin that can be synthesized by the human body itself therefore it is not an essential vitamin for human beings. Human skin is the part that helps in making this vitamin in humans.

The natural form of vitamin D is vitamin D3 which is formed by the sunlight exposure on the skin. When we expose our skin in the sunlight the UV radiation penetrated our skin and converts provitamin D3 into pre-vitamin D3 then this previtamin can be isomerized into the natural form of vitamin D Which is vitamin D3. So the right answer is vitamin D.
