<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Mid-ocean ridges

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Sea-floor spreading is the process by which molten material adds new oceanic crust to the ocean floor.
  • Mid-ocean ridge is an undersea mountain chain where new ocean floor is produced at a divergent plate boundary.
  • Mid ocean ridge occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary.

Nady [450]

professor190 [17]

Answer:

A. polymerization

Explanation:

Synthetic plastics are made by linking many simple carbon molecules together to form much larger molecules. This process is called polymerization.

Synthetic or artifical giant molecules consists of synthetic polymers such as plastics, elastomers etc. They are made up of simple monomers which links to form the complex and giant structure.

Monomers are the simplest unit of polymers. Polymers have very great sizes. The size mkaes their structure quite complex. This makes the molecules more disposed in a regular pattern with respect to one another.

The complexity of structure and the attendant effects accounts for the properties and uses that makes synthetic molecules very unique. For example, plastics can be extruded as sheets, pipes and or moulded into other objects.
