<u>Answer: </u>

Ocean currents are like conveyor belts which transfer temperatures.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Weather of our planet Earth is largely driven by the oceans. They act as heat retaining solar panels.
  • They absorb majority of the radiation emitted from the sun. Land areas  absorb heat, the climate on earth helps to retain or radiate into the space after sunset.
  • Ocean currents are "movements of water in a continuous flow" triggered by temperature, earth’s rotation, surface winds.
  • They send warm water from the equator pointing towards the poles and "cold water from the poles" back to the tropic areas.

The changing ocean currents lead to climate cooling by bringing cooler breezes to places with higher climates. The cool breezes push the warm air out and leads to the drop of temperature

Question 6(Multiple Choice Worth 3 points) B If solidification ages at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge are around 10,000 years old, what
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Option (2)

Explanation:

The mid oceanic ridge is the region along which two plates moves away from one another. This occurs in the divergent plate boundary. The magma, during this type of plate motion, comes out to the surface of the ocean floor and solidifies immediately due to the lowering temperature, giving rise to the formation of basaltic rocks.  

The solidification age refers to the time when the magma last crystallized as it ejected at the ocean floor.

According to the given condition, the magma last solidified nearly 10,000 years back in the mid oceanic ridge, which are considered to be the youngest rocks found along the mid oceanic ridge.

Thus, the correct answer is option (2).
