Question

Based on the Theory of Plate Tectonics, you would expect to find ________ heat flow at the mid-ocean ridge and ________ heat flow at subduction zones when compared to other parts of the crust.

Answer 1

Answer:

Convectional, hydro thermal

Explanation:

• The theory of the plate tectonics suggests that the flow of the heat from the mid-oceanic ridges occurs through the upper part of the mantel.

• This heat flows in a convective pattern as compared to the heat flow of the subduction zones is the hydrothermal flow and is high than compared to the other parts of the crust.
