Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

Sea-floor spreading refers to the splitting of the ocean floor thereby leading to the expansion of the seas and oceans. This process adds new materials to the ocean floor along the mid-oceanic ridge. This idea of sea floor spreading allowed the scientists to demarcate that the rocks that are present along the mid oceanic ridge are the younger and the rocks that are present away from the rocks are the older rocks.

Along the mid-oceanic ridge, the rocks are comprised of magnetic strips that shifts their orientation every time it erupts. This separation of sea floor takes place due to the plate tectonic movement. It generates earthquakes of various intensities in the subduction zone. The rocks of the oceanic crust are basaltic in nature and are very dense compared to the continental crust.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

<h3>What is a sub-region?</h3>

This refers to the conceptual unit which derives from a larger region or continent and is usually based on location.

For instance, in the United States, the subregion of the country includes the Pacific Northwest, Midwest, Baja California, South etc.

Therefore, in this question, the sub-region were used to locate the region where we have:

Warm, humid, growing, part of United States with important oil discoveries
Northern part of this peninsula is heavily populated, near San Diego
Vast forests and active volcanoes, in the United States
Includes area around the, American and Canadian shores of the Great Lakes.
