Answer:
The North American Plate
Explanation:
Generally, earthquakes are located at the boundaries between plates where they collide, or grind past each other, or spread apart. New York City lies within the North American plate and the closest plate boundary is thousands of miles away in the middle of the Atlantic.
<h2>Answer </h2>
Option D - The Linnaean system of classification used a nested hierarchy to sort organisms into groups based on similarities and differences in their characteristics. kingdom → phylum → class → order → family → genus → species.
<u>Explanation</u>
The family is missing from the Linnaean system of classification that is used for nested hierarchy. Carolus Linnaean worked for the taxonomy. It is the system of classifying and naming organisms. This system includes eight taxa: domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. Linnaeus presented us with a uniform way to identify species called binomial nomenclature.
The correct answer is - underwater mountain ranges.
The mid-ocean ridges are actually underwater mountain ranges, which usually are very long, in fact the longest mountain range on Earth is created on the divergent boundary between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates and between the African and South American tectonic plates. At the divergent tectonic boundaries we have the creation of new crust which rises from the mantle and fills in the gap between the tectonic plates. Because of the big amount of magma and high pressure, very big and long underwater mountain ranges are formed.
