New crust forms along the ridge when old crust splits and magma rises to fill the gap.

The mid-ocean ridge is a volcanic feature caused by the spreading apart of oceanic plates as part of plate tectonics. The sea floor at the ridges are uplifted by rising magma. The rising magma is part of a process of heat transfer from the interior of the Earth to the surface known as a convection current.

what are the mechanisms that halophiles typically employ to grow in habitats with high concentrations of salt

Talja [164]

Answer:

Synthesis Of Osmoprotectants

Explanation:

One Mechanism Halophiles use to survive in high concentrations of salt is the Synthesis Of Osmoprotectants, which are also known as compatible solutes. These work by balancing the internal osmotic pressure with the external osmotic pressure, making the two solutions isotonic, or close to it.
