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.

1914 report of the U.S. commissioner of fisheries. What do you think the report was predicting?
Bond [772]
Fisheries are a place where fish are reared for commercial purposes. I'm not sure if you meant to put options in your question or not, but here is an example of that kind of report. 

DELAWARE BAY 
The relentless wind has made it all but impossible to fish the open waters of the Bay. Saturday morning a few boats tried to find some tog, but for the most part they were unsuccessful. Dirty water and strong currents greeted these hardy anglers and both of those conditions are detrimental to tog catching.

<span>Shoreline anglers did have some decent fishing for white perch and catfish along with a few short rockfish. A few boaters also found success with these fish especially in the Leipsic River. Bloodworms remain the best bait for perch and rockfish with chicken livers or cut bunker a good choice for the catfish.</span>
