Q25. How does the New seafloor form at the mid-ocean ridge?

Geography
1 answer:
yan [13]3 years ago
6 0

Hot and less dense material below the Earth’s crust rises towards the mid-ocean ridge. A mid-ocean ridge is an underwater mountain range, formed by plate tectonics. <span>As this material flows sideways, it creates a crack in the crust where magma will flow out. This magma cools down and becomes the new seafloor.</span>

Answer:

<u>Option-(E): It is the best option to choose from.</u>

<u> Lithogenous sediments:</u> "Those particles or sediments which are formed by the weathering process of rocks, and mostly from the events occurring in the oceanic volcano."

<u>Vdiatom ooze:</u> It is not a lithogenous sediment, as it is a bio-genic pelagic sediment found deep down in the ocean bed.

Explanation:

<u>As Examples of lithogenous sediment includes; </u>

why is it important to know the source of energy in convection currents to understand plate tectonic theory​
Lera25 [3.4K]

Its important to know the source of energy in convection currents because it is what drives the movement of the plates, formation of plate boundaries, and hot spots.

Explanation:

The convection currents are currents that occur in the mantle layer. The prime reason as to why they appear is the difference of heat and pressure between the upper and lower mantle. The energy itself exist because of the core of the Earth, as it is very hot and it has extremely high pressure, so it heavily influences the mantle layer above it.

The importance of understanding the energy source of convection currents is seen in that through it we can understand why we have plate boundaries at some places and not in others, why are spreading zones occurring, and why hot spots occur in the middle of the plates, far away from the boundaries. By understanding these things, we can understand the plate tectonics theory, thus the motion of the plates on Earth's surface.

The Hawaiian Islands are associated with what type of volcanism? intraplate volcanism volcanism at a divergent plate boundary su
tangare [24]

The correct answer is - intraplate volcanism.

The Hawaiian Islands are volcanic islands, thus islands that have been created by volcanic activity. Unlike most of the volcanic islands, or most of the volcanoes, they are not related to any type of volcanism asociated with plate boundary. These islands are in fact associated with intraplate volcanism.

The intraplate volcanism, unlike the other volcanisms, appears inside the plate, not on the boundary of it. The other, more common name, used for this volcanism is hot spot volcanism. This type of volcanic activity appears on places where there's a hot spot, so even though the plate is on top of it, it manages to penetrate through it, and create volcanoes on the surface.
