A mid-ocean ridge or mid-oceanic ridge is an underwater mountain range, formed by plate tectonics. This uplifting of the ocean floor occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary.

<u>ANSWER:</u>

Mid ocean ridges are places where "tectonic plates meet at divergent boundaries". These are areas of the oceans where underwater mountain ranges formed because of tectonic plates exist.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • The "mid ocean ridges" of the various oceans connect and form the mid oceanic range system which is considered to be the "longest mountain range" of the world with a length of 60,000 kilometers.
  • The mountain ranges are formed when the ocean floors get uplifted because of the convection currents.
  • This in turn leads to the tectonic plates meeting at divergent boundaries.

Answer:

Answer are written below:

Explanation:

1) It is very important to have a universal method established to guide archaeological excavations because you have to planned out everything in order to find a method or a way to work through the study.

2)  Understanding our past is important to our future because studying history enables us to understand the world better and the past gives us courage and protects us from harm.

3) It would be more challenging to be a prehistoric archaeologist as compared to historical archaeologist because historic archaeology is easier to study due to the presence in written form whereas  Prehistoric archaeology is very difficult to study due to no written records are present.

4) I will work as an academic archaeologist as compared to cultural resource management (CRM) archaeologist because academic archaeologists are active researchers in their field which also published their work in the books, journals, and popular publications.

Explain why a waterfall is a temporary feature on a rivers course
barxatty [35]

Explanation:

waterfalls are temporary features of rivers because stream erosion is greatest at waterfalls and rapids. The water that falls at the base of the waterfall erodes rock there, leaving the rock at the tops of the waterfalls to overhang. Overall, undermining causes waterfalls to recede farther upstream.
