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.

Answer:

It ocurred a selection by allopatric speciation

Explanation:

The allopatric speciation refers to the evolution in which the same specie starts developing different characteristics because of geographic barrers and this characteristics after some time generates two different specie.

It happens because usually according to the environment or the predators, species have to develop different adaptations so they can survive. In this case we have two different types of camouflage adaptations made by the salamanders acording to the conditions so for one specie it is better to camouflage from the predator mean while to the other is better to use lived colors to seem as it is a poisonous animal and in this way avoid the predators.

So you can see the same specie develop different strategies to survive because of a geographic separation, generating an allopatric speciation.

Tillage can release pollutants in the soil and

Snezhnost [94]

Tillage can release pollutants in the soil and increase erosion by the acceleration of the soil and wind speed.

<h3>How doesTillage can increase erosion ?</h3>

Tillage can split soil structure, pace the decomposition and lack of natural matter, boom the hazard of erosion, break the habitat of useful organisms and reason compaction.

Each of those capability effects negatively effect soil fine. A soil's overall performance is immediately associated with a soil's fine or health. Since tillage breaks the soil, it disrupts soil structure, accelerating floor runoff and soil erosion. Tillage additionally reduces crop residue, which assist cushion the pressure of pounding raindrops.
