<u>Answer:</u>

The surface of the Earth below the oceans is not evenly spread in planes and depressions. At some places, it is low-lying and at some other places, it is elevated. That is why the ocean is not deeper at its center.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • During the formation of the Earth around 4.5 billion years ago, it was a gigantic mass having a non-uniform structure and a highly uneven surface.
  • The Earth was later cooled down by rains that poured down for thousands of years continuously.
  • These rains filled up the low-lying parts of the Earth which then resulted in the formation of a huge unibody of water that we today classify as oceans.
  • When the Earth was formed, its deepest depressions weren't formed at its center. That is only why the ocean is not the deepest at its center.

Why do many oceanic volcanoes occur as long lines of volcanoes that are active at only one end? O The lithosphere moves over a s
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The active volcanoes are gradually moving away from the oceanic ridge.

Explanation:

  • Many oceanic volcanoes occur as long lines of the active end of volcanoes as here in the mid-oceanic ridges the plate is pushed far away from the ridge surface of the earth as these tend to move out in the direction of the movement of the plates.
  • Thus the volcanoes are generally found near the active zones or regions of the tectonic plate and associated with the earthquakes occurring on the fault line or shear lines of the plates.
  • Spreading of the ridges as a result of the seafloor spreading takes place and the mantel and plates from below are the driving forces that make the volcanoes and convection current that rises through the mantle pushes or spread the volcanoes to the sides like seen in the ring of fire.
