Answer:

B. Fracture zones are situated perpendicular to mid-ocean ridge segments

Explanation:

  • A fracture zone is a linear feature that is several kilometers long and can result from the action that offsets the mid-oceanic ridges segments and are a consequence of the plate tectonics. They act as transform faults and are found along these separating ridges.

Scientists believe that _____________ is an example of an internal force that changes the Earth’s crust.
hram777 [196]

Answer:

Scientists believe that plate tectonics is an example of an internal force that changes the Earth’s crust.

Plate tectonics is a theory that describes the motion of seven large plates, and many other smaller plates of the Earth's lithosphere. When they collide they can make mountains or we can feel their motion as earthquakes. Their motion is responsible for the continental shift and it made our continents look the way they look today.
