Answer:
How much legal protection labor unions can provide
Explanation:
Mid- Atlantic ridge is a part of
constructive plate boundary or divergent plate boundary. This linear feature
lies in the midst of a two tectonic plates that are apart from each other.
Active divergent plate boundaries usually take place in the middle of oceanic
plates then become mid-oceanic ridges. In fact that a Mid- Atlantic Ridge is
mainly an underwater feature, some of its segments have an altitude that
extends above sea level. Its boundary is situated along Atlantic Ocean's bottom
and areas of the world's longest mountain range.
The approximate average ocean depth along the continental shelves bordering North America is 3958m. The average depth of the continental shelf, however, is 200m
Is that all the question, and is there any answer choices?
Answer:
C. When the oceanic lithosphere, which is more dense, sinks and pulls the plate with it
Explanation:
Slab pull and other mechanisms are responsible for the motion of plates. Every tectonic plate is driven by mantle convection.
- Convection is a form of heat transfer in fluids.
- It is as a result of differences in density and temperature values.
- The oceanic crust is denser and colder.
- As hot magma from deep within the subsurface rises and move through cracks, the oceanic lithosphere is drawn down and deeper.
- This cycling between the cold lithosphere and hot rising plumes provides the mechanism that drives plate motion.
