How do ridges and rises differ? Rises are broader and more gently sloped than ridges. Divergence occurs more quickly at a ridge.

Rises are associated with hotspots, and ridges result from seafloor spreading at divergent plate boundaries. Ridges are associated with divergence, and rises are associated with convergence. Ridges occur in the Pacific Ocean, and rises occur in the Atlantic Ocean.

Answer:

Option (3)

Explanation:

Mid-oceanic ridges are the regions along which two distinct plates move away from one another. This type of plate boundary is known as the divergent plate boundary.

Whereas a rise occurs along a divergent plate boundary and is mostly associated with the region of hot-spots, where the magma is forced to rise up forming a gently steeper underwater highland area.

Both these features occur in a divergent plate boundary and plays an important role in pushing the continents apart. So we can conclude that the rises are mostly associated with the region of hot-spots, and ridges are formed due to the seafloor spreading at divergent plate boundaries.

Hence, the correct answer is option (3).

The presence of glossopteris leaves and mesosaurus on disconnected continents are strong _______ evidence for continental drift.
almond37 [142]

Fossils.

Early in the 20th century, Alfred Wegener, primarily, established the continental drift theory. According to Wegener, continents are mobile on the surface of the Earth and were previously connected to form a single supercontinent. Scientists did not think that the continents could migrate when Wegener was alive.

In rocks that are the same age but on continents that are currently far apart, ancient fossils of the same species of extinct plants and animals can be found. Wegener claimed that the species had coexisted, but that once they died and become petrified, the lands had separated. According to his theory, the creatures couldn't have crossed the seas.

1. Glossopteris seed fern fossils were too heavy for the wind to carry them that far.

2. Mesosaurus was a reptile that could swim, although it could only do it in freshwater.

3. The terrestrial reptiles Cynognathus and Lystrosaurus were incapable of swimming.

Very fine-grained sediment, similar to the texture of talcum powder, called ___ can be carried by wind over long distances.
yarga [219]
The correct option is LOESS.
Loess refers to a compacted yellowish deposit of wind blown sediments which is usually found extensively in the mid latitudes. Loess is formed by the accumulation of dust that had been blown by the wind. Scientists believed that about 10% of the earth's land area is covered by loess.<span />

Which mineral is the least reliable for identifying a mineral?
Marina86 [1]
I assume you meant which method is least reliable for identification. 

If so, the answer would be COLOR, since there are many minerals that are different, yet share similar color. So it wouldn't be reliable to identify a mineral based off it's color.

(Please help/ hurry) Find the length of the third side, If necessary, write in simplest radical form
Neko [114]

Answer:

The length of the third side is 2.

Explanation:

According to figure, we have a right triangle. The missing length can be determined by Pythagorean Theorem:

r^{2} = s^{2} + l^{2} (1)

Where:

r - Hypotenuse.

s, l - Legs.

If we know that r = 2\sqrt{5} and l = 4, then the missing length is:

s = \sqrt{r^{2}-l^{2}} (2)

s = \sqrt{20-16}

s = \sqrt{4}

s = 2

The length of the third side is 2.
