<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Plate tectonics theory

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • According to the plate tectonics theory, the plates making the earth float on the partially molten mantle, moving away from the mid ocean ridges at varying speeds. <em><u>At a point where the plates pull apart, slide or collide, a tectonic activity will be manifested as earthquakes. </u></em>
  • <em><u>Earthquakes </u></em><em><u>take place when the plate boundaries get stuck together while the plates keep moving. </u></em><em><u>Volcanoes </u></em><em><u>on the other hand take place when plates crash into or pull away from each other and hot magma from below rises up to the surface in an eruption.</u></em>

<h3>What is the formation of gaseous spurs in spiral galaxies?</h3>

The gigantic form of the magnificent doppelganger spiral patterns that spiral outward from the galactic cores gave spiral galaxies their name. These light arms of spiral galaxies are frequently seen in optical pictures to be speckled with bright star-forming areas at regular intervals.

Smaller structures spread forth and rearward into the interarm area from each major spiral arm. Spiral-arm also known as spurs are the name given to these substructures. Sometimes the spurs are also filled with star-forming clusters. As a consequence, we may draw the conclusion that spurs most likely emerge from self-sustaining star formation.
