Mid-ocean ridges are segmented and contain which two basic types of plate boundaries linked together?

1 answer:

7 0

Mid ocean ridges occur where two tectonic plates diverge or move away from each other. This separation occurs under the ocean.The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is such an example and is where the North and South American plates pull away from the Eurasian and African plates. Mid ocean ridges are usually a combination of divergent and transform plate boundaries. At transform boundaries plates slide past each other in opposite directions.

Margarita [4]

Answer:

Memories aren't just stored in one part of our brains. Different parts are stored in different brain regions, but the hippocampus is memories are formed and later accessed.

Learning can be improved by paying attention when learning something new so that you can take in the knowledge.

Explicit memories are conscious and can be verbally explained, however, implicit memories are usually nonconscious and are not verbally articulated.

Answer:

A. Nuclear reactors increase thermal pollution

Explanation:

From the analogy provided in this context, we can vividly see that the author is suggesting that the use of nuclear energy causes thermal pollution.

Nuclear energy is an alternate energy source as identified in the text.
Since a huge amount of heat energy is generated and they are not all used up, they are released into the ecosystem.
The earth is usually depicted as heat reservoir.
Increased release of heat to the environment will cause thermal pollution.
This increases the ambient temperature of water and degrades it.
