Answer:

Divergent boundaries

Explanation:

    Unsurprisingly among scientists, continents and ocean floors are in continuous motion. This movement occurs through magmatic currents in the innermost layers of the Earth (convection currents), which eventually alter the position of the immense blocks of rock floating above the magma, called tectonic plates.

    Thus, this movement of the plates eventually leads to constant shocks in their meeting regions, which causes seismic and volcanic activities around the globe. The boundaries between such tectonic plates, however, may follow different orientations.

  • Divergent Limits: In this type of limit, there is the separation between plates. In the space created between the two large blocks, the formation of a new crust occurs through the solidification of the magma. It can occur on continents or oceans.

  • Divergent boundary in the oceans: When this type of boundary occurs in oceans, there is the creation of gigantic submerged ridges, known as dorsal oceanic. The most famous of these is the mesoatlantic dorsal, which occurs at the boundary between the North American and Eurasian plates and extends across the South American and African plates, cutting a portion of the globe from the Arctic to southern Africa.

Answer:

Divergent boundaries such as the mid-oceanic ridge system.

Explanation:

Divergent boundaries occur when plate boundaries pull away from each other. Molten rock or magma rise from the gap between the two plates, rising up to the sea floor where it cools down to form new crust. It is the mid-ocean ridges where you see the most magma produced and there has not been any other tectonic event or area that could match its procution since the Precambrian period.

✨✨What’s 2 differences between the Earths layers and the atmospheric layers? ✨✨
UNO [17]

Answer: The earth layers and atmospheric layers are distinctly different.

Explanation:

The earth layers are made up of solid matter whereas the atmospheric layers are made up of gases.

The earth layers provide the base for the survival of diversity of living beings whereas the atmospheric layers only allow microbes which can survive in extreme temperature conditions.

The stratospheric layer of the atmosphere protects the living beings from the harmful radiations striking on the surface of earth and they are capable of causing mutation whereas the lithosphere or any other surface layer of the earth also absorb thermal energy from sun but does not provide protection against harmful affects of ultraviolet radiations.

Nostrana [21]

The correct answer is - Race and ethnicity shape internal and external perceptions of a group.

Both, the race and the ethnicity, shape the internal and external perceptions of a group of people. It is true that every ethnic group has its own unique traits, and that every race has its own unique features, but unfortunately, very often they are over exaggerated and used in bad connotations.

The people of races and ethnic groups around the world tend to have prejudice for the people different than them, and very often that leads to big problems.
