Answer:

new volcanoes

Explanation:

The mid-ocean ridges occur at places where there is a divergent plate boundary between two plates, and the boundary is located on the ocean floor. At this type of boundaries, the tectonic plates are moving away from each other, and there is constant volcanic activity between them.

The volcanic activity produces lot of magma, which quickly cools off in the water and piles up, creating underwater mountain ranges known as mid-ocean ridges. This constant piling of igneous rocks from the rising magma, produces new crust, or rather creates new ocean floor.

The old ocean floor is pushed aside, and there is a general principle that the crust at the mid-ocean ridge is the youngest, and the further away a place it is from it, the older the crust is.

Along all of the mid-ocean ridge there is constant volcanic activity, and that volcanic activity creates lot of new volcanoes on the ocean floor.

Answer: The answer is new volcanos

Explanation: this is the answer because volcano's start forming very low in the oceans and build up above the water because the magma comes from the interior of the earth.

denis23 [38]

Answer:

Although the total energy received by our planet — and hence, Earth’s total temperature — isn’t affected by our axial tilt, the energy received as a function of latitude is very sensitive to it.

The simplest and earliest method for determing the size of the earth uses
Komok [63]
The answer is: comparing the Sun’s relative position at two different locations on the earth’s surface.

Explanation:

In the third century BCE , Eratosthenes, a Greek librarian in Alexandria , Egypt , determined the earth's circumference to be 40,250 to 45,900 kilometers (25,000 to 28,500 miles) by comparing the Sun's relative position at two different locations on the earth's surface.

Eratosthenes determined the earth's size by observing known phenomena and applying basic arithmetic and geometry to them. Here's how he did it. Eratosthenes' methods were simple but effective. All he needed to know was the distance between two locations and what percentage of a circle this distance constituted.
