The process by which the seafloor moves apart at mid-ocean ridges is called _____.
2 answers:
Answer:
C. Sea floor spreading.
Explanation:
The geological process by which the tectonic plates separate from each other in the seabed allowing the rise of magma is known as sea floor spreading.
In this process, magma comes into contact with cold water and solidifies rapidly, generating a ridge at the bottom of the ocean, as is shown in the image.

Answer:
500000N/m²
5250N
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Depth(H) = 50m
Density of water = 1000kg/m³
Acceleration of free fall = 10m/s
Unknown:
Pressure the water exerts on the diver = ?
Solution:
Pressure is the force per unit area on a body. In fluids, pressure is the product of density, gravity and height
Pressure in fluids = Density x acceleration due to gravity x height
Input the variables and solve;
Pressure in fluids = 1000 x 10 x 50 = 500000N/m²
B.
width of window = 150mm
height of window = 70mm
Force water exerts on the window = ?
To solve this problem;
Pressure =
Area of the window = width x height = 150 x 10⁻³ x 70 x 10⁻³
= 1.05 x 10 ⁻²m²
Force = pressure x area
Input the variables;
= 500000N/m² x 1.05 x 10 ⁻²m²
= 5250N
