Where a mid-ocean ridge is offset, the linear feature connecting and between the crests of the ridge segments is called a?
marshall27 [118]

When a mid-ocean ridge is offset, the linear feature connecting and between the crests of the ridge segments is called a Transform Fault.

As the Earth's tectonic plates separate, new ocean bottom is generated along divergent plate borders, which are known as mid-ocean ridges. Massive basalt volcanic eruptions result from molten rock rising to the seafloor as the plates divide. A ridge's shape is influenced by how quickly it spreads; slower spreading rates produce steep, erratic topography, while faster spreading rates result in much wider profiles and kinder slopes.

In geology and oceanography, a transform fault is a type of fault when two tectonic plates slide past one another. A transform fault may develop in the area of a fracture zone that connects spreading centres to deep-sea trenches in subduction zones or that lies between various offset spreading centres.

In the 1960s, Morgan postulated that spreading centres and transform faults separate opposing plates along an oceanic ridge crest that is offset by fracture zones.

The direction of motion on the transform faults was predicted by Morgan's hypothesis to be opposite to the offsets of the ridge crests, which was a rather dramatic assertion.

Which of the layers listed below is not defined as a layer by composition? Select one: a. Lithosphere b. Crust c. Core O d. Mant
Hitman42 [59]

1. a. Lithosphere

If we divide the Earth into layers by their composition, then there are three of them, the crust, mantle, and core. The crust is the thinnest layer, being on the top, and being solid. The mantle is the second layer, lying between the crust and the core. It is a layer where the temperature and pressure are higher, and the rocks are hot and slow-moving. The core is the bottom layer, in the center of the planet. It is the hottest and has the highest pressure, being the densest of the layers and is composed mostly of iron and in lesser percentage of nickel.

2. b. Crust

The Earth is divided into several layers depending on the layers being solid or liquid. There are five different physical layers, lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer core and inner core. The lithosphere and the inner core are the two layers that are solid, thus the layer on top and the layer in the center. The asthenosphere, mesosphere, and outer core are all liquid, though it is a different degree of liquidity, and it is these three layers where the convection currents occur and cause the magnetic field of the Earth, as well as the tectonic movements.
