Physics

Stella [2.4K]3 years ago
3 0
The main requirement for a good conductor of electricity is to have a lot of valence electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons of the outer shells of atoms not bound with other atoms (for example through covalent bounds). These electrons are "free to escape" as soon as an electric field with enough intensity is applied to the material, and therefore these electrons will be free to move in the material producing an electric current.

Answer:

Mid-Ocean Ridges

  • At a diverging center, two tectonic plates are pulling apart from one another.
  • This creates a space which allows for magma to rise up.
  • The magma then crystallize to form an extensive ridge network known as the mid - oceanic ridge.
  • The continental expression of the ridge can only be found in Iceland
