Which statement best describes the ocean floor

Geography
1 answer:
gogolik [260]3 years ago
8 0
Initially, people's believe about the ocean floor was that it is mostly flat, and that it has little to no distinguishing features. This was proven wrong when sonar was used to map the ocean floor by <span>German scientists in the early </span>20th century, and they observed that the ocean floor is varied and it showcases such distinguishing features as atolls, submarine canyons, and mid-ocean ridges.

Given STU and DEF what is the m
Sonja [21]

Answer:

m<E = 105°

Explanation:

The ratio of the corresponding side lengths of ∆STU and ∆DEF are equal. That is:

\frac{ST}{DE} = \frac{TU}{EF} = \frac{SU}{DF} = \frac{15}{6} = \frac{10}{4} = \frac{20}{8} = 2.5.

According to similarly theorem, if two ∆s are similar, the ratio of their corresponding lengths would be the same. Therefore, ∆STU is similar to ∆DEF.

Since ∆STU ~ ∆DEF, their corresponding angles are congruent. That is:

<S ≅ <D, this means both are 29° each.

<T ≅ <E, this means they are both equal

<U ≅ <F. this means both are 46° each.

Thus:

m<E = 180 - (m<D + m<F) (sum of ∆)

m<E = 180 - (29 + 46) (substitution)

m<E = 180 - 75

m<E = 105°

How does a convection cell in the mantle lead to volcanism at the mid-ocean ridge?
poizon [28]

The convection cell in the mantle is essentially the self-sustaining, constant movement of the magma inside this layer. This works in a very simple way. The hotter magma is less dense, so it is pushed upward toward the crust above it, while the cooler magma is denser, and it moves downward where it gets hotter, and the process goes on and one. The magma that goes upward toward the crust, manages to push through the thinner and cracked crust between the plates that move away from each other, thus on the divergent plate boundaries. As the magma penetrates through the crust it manages to get to the ocean floor, thus causing volcanic activity. This magma cools of very quickly and creates new crust. Because the magma constantly rises up and creates new crust, the crust piles up and forms an underwater mountain of volcanic origin that constantly has volcanic activity because of the rising magma. This volcanic underwater mountain range is called mid-ocean ridge.

Explanation:

convergent- where two plates collide, subduction zones occur when one or both of the tectonic plates are composed of oceanic crust

divergent-where two plates are moving apart

transform-where two plates slide passed each other
