Identify the FALSE statement

Geography

Doss [256]3 years ago
6 0

There are two false statements:

  • About 6 million years ago, the African plate moved northward and collided with the European plate to create a dam between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea
  • At times of high global sea level, the Mediterranean Sea was cut off and the trapped seawater evaporated

Explanation:

The Mediterranean Sea is a sea that forms a natural boundary between three continents, Europe, Asia, and Africa. The sea is connected with the Atlantic Ocean on its west, and with the Red Sea on its southeast. The connection with the Atlantic Ocean is through Gibraltar, while the connection with the Red Sea is through the Suez Canal.

The majority of the water in this sea comes from the surrounding water bodies, while the amount of water from rainfall and river discharge is significantly lower. The sea has high levels of evaporation, but because of its connections with other large bodies of water it doesn't dry out.

The statement that the African plate collided with the European plate and created a dam between the Atlantic and Mediterranean is false. For starters there isn't a European plate, but and Eurasian plate, and despite the collision of the two plates, there isn't a dam created between the two bodies of water, though it is expected to happen in the future.

At times of high global sea level, the Mediterranean Sea is not cut off from the other water bodies, but instead, because of the higher sea levels, the places of connection are significantly wider.

How does the age of seafloor basaltic rocks change with respect to the ocean ridges? They are youngest close to the ridges, They
Romashka [77]

Answer:

They are youngest close to the ridges,

Explanation:

At the ocean ridges, there is divergence at their margins.

Therefore, new materials upwell from the mantle below to the surface.

  • The basaltic materials cools and solidifies at the margin.
  • This action forces the old lithosphere backwards as the plate pulls away.
  • At the margin of the ridge, the rocks are younger.
  • Away from the margin, the crust begins to grow older.

So, at the margin the age of the rocks are more younger than those away from the margin.
