Answer:

Ocean currents are like conveyor belts which transfer temperatures.

Explanation:

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

How do ridges and rises differ? Rises are broader and more gently sloped than ridges. Divergence occurs more quickly at a ridge.

Leni [432]

Answer:

Option (3)

Explanation:

Mid-oceanic ridges are the regions along which two distinct plates move away from one another. This type of plate boundary is known as the divergent plate boundary.

Whereas a rise occurs along a divergent plate boundary and is mostly associated with the region of hot-spots, where the magma is forced to rise up forming a gently steeper underwater highland area.

Both these features occur in a divergent plate boundary and plays an important role in pushing the continents apart. So we can conclude that the rises are mostly associated with the region of hot-spots, and ridges are formed due to the seafloor spreading at divergent plate boundaries.

Hence, the correct answer is option (3).
