Which feature of Earth is created at mid-ocean ridges? new island chain new volcanoes new continents new ocean floor

Geography

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.

Hierarchical diffusion is diffusion based on the geography of gender.<br><br> True<br><br> False
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Hierarchical diffusion is the spread of information from one hierarchical level to another, usually downwards, but can also be upwards.

An example of downwards propagation is when the president of a company announced there will be cuts in various departments.  He transmits the news to the department chiefs, who relay it to the employees.

An upwards propagation might be when call center employees report repeated problems encountered by the customers to their supervisor, who moves it up to their boss and so on.

Gender and geography has nothing to do with that.

it is possible for two stars to have different temperatures and different sizes but the same luminosity. explain how.
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Two stars (a and b) can have the same luminosity, but different surface area and temperature if the following condition is met:

(T_a^4)(R_a^2) = (T_b^4)(R_b^2)

Explanation:

The luminosity of a star is the total energy that produces in one second. It depends on the size of the star and its surface temperature.

L = σ(T^4)(4πR^2)

L is the luminosity f the star, T is the temperature of the surface of the star and R is its radius.  

Two stars can have the same luminosity if the relation between the radius and the surface temperature is maintained.  

To see this lets suposed you have 2 stars, a and b, and the luminosities of each one of them:

L_a = σ(T_a^4)(4πR_a^2)

L_b = σ(T_b^4)(4πR_b^2)

you can assume that L_a and L_b are equal:

σ(T_a^4)(4πR_a^2) = σ(T_b^4)(4πR_b^2)

Now, you can cancel the constants:

(T_a^4)(R_a^2) = (T_b^4)(R_b^2)

as long as this relation between a and b is true, then the luminosity can be the same.
