Dovator [93]3 years ago

The Earth has a long history that stretches back over 4.6 billion years ago when bodies of rock began to collide together and form larger rocks in the process. The Earth was the product of these rock collisions, and when the Earth was formed into a planet it was extremely hot for several reasons.

Internal pressure helped to raise temperatures from the gravitational contact of these large rock collisions. There were also large amounts of radioactive elements early in the history of our planet that released heat through radioactive decay. The other reason is tied into the first, with multiple rocks and asteroids were colliding with Earth and these large bodies traveled at tremendous speeds through space which created immense heat on impact with Earth.

Examine the five words and/or phrases and determine the relationship among the majority of words/phrases. Choose the one option
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Abyssal Hill

Explanation:

The given words/phrases are directly related to the seafloor spreading process.

In the case of divergent plate motion, plates move in the opposite direction. Due to this, the thickness of the lithosphere decrease and with the increasing time, it results in the eruption of magma at the seafloor. In the ocean basin, these magmas erupt along the mid-oceanic ridge, and in the continental areas, it leads to the formation of a rift and later forms a rift valley.

Some of the segments of the mid-oceanic ridge in the oceans are quite gentle with no roughness along the slope and some segments are steep and rough. It occurs because of the differences in the spreading rate, and this is commonly known as oceanic rise. The rocks that are formed at the mid-oceanic ridge are the youngest of all other rocks.

The odd one here is the abyssal hill, which is formed generally at the seafloor. When the areas at the abyssal plains are comprised of large deposits of sediments forming a hill, then it is called an abyssal hill. It is not related to the seafloor spreading. It is simply a feature of the ocean floor.
