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).

As a result of chronic stress associated with an intense high school weight-lifting program, a 15-year-old boy suffers an avulsi
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

The correct answer is: supraspinatus.

Explanation:

Many muscles insert in the humerus - in its greater tubercle, where the fracture took place, is where three of the four rotator cuff muscles insert: <u>supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor</u>. Avulsion of the greater tubercle could result in detachment of any of these 3 muscles but if we take into account that the 15-year-old boy had <u>difficulty initiating abduction of the upper limb, we can infer that the damaged muscle is the supraspinatus because its main action is to start the abduction the upper limb</u>.
