Question
Mid-ocean ridges are steeper and less broad than rises because:
Group of answer choices
A) the rocks of the mid-ocean ridges are composed of more dense mineral than the rises.
B) the rocks of the mid-ocean ridges are composed of less dense mineral than the rises.
C) The seafloor spreading rate of ridges are faster than rises causing the oceanic crust to subside closer to the ridge axis.
D) The seafloor spreading rate of ridges are slower than rises causing the oceanic crust to subside closer to the ridge axis.
E) Every ridge is composed of continental crust.
Answer:
The correct answer is D.
Explanation:
In volcanic regions, as the molten magma flows out onto the seafloor creating new beds, the faster it flows, the less steep the mid-ocean ridge is. If however, it is slow-flowing, then oceanic lithosphere formed cool closer to the ridge axis thus making it very steep.

Answer:
at 4 p.m Baghdad located at 45°E
at 8p.m Indonesia is located at x°
we have
common difference in time =8p.m-4p.m=4hours =4×60min
again
we have
4min=1°
4×60min=4×60/4=60°
since time is in p.m on both so they lie in same direction
Therefore, longitude of Indonesia=60°E.
hope this helps you. thanks

Explanation:
Fist, the forces acting on the plate are tensional force which act away from each other.
When these forces act away from each other, they cause the place of their origin to stretch hence creating a new feature

It is important for the United States to build canals (wide canals) because the country is visited multiple times by hurricanes annually. Hurricanes are accompanied by heavy rainfalls and if left unchecked, causes flooding. The function of canals is to diffuse accumulated rainwater and direct it to greater bodies of water.
