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.

The correct answer is D. Four.

Explanation

The map shows a relief map of an area. The relief maps are characterized by having contour lines that are a representation system composed of different shapes or lines that represent cutting planes of the surface depending on their height, these are characterized by keeping distance between them, and depending on this it can know if the terrain has a more or less steep incline. Also, contour lines allow us to recognize where the peak of a mountain is since this being the highest part is represented by a circle or undefined shape that represents the last contour of the plane. Therefore, it can be said that the map has four peaks because it has four circular shapes that allow us to recognize the highest points on the map, that is, they represent the peaks. Therefore, the correct answer is D. 4
