Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

In a divergent plate motion, two plates move in the opposite direction. Due to this plate motion, the magma rises up and comes out to the ocean floor, forming a long ridge which is commonly known as the mid-oceanic ridge. As soon as this magma comes out to the surface, it solidifies and forms igneous (basaltic) rocks.

These rocks are of geologically the youngest because they are directly forming from the cooling and solidification of magma. The rocks that are present at or near the mid-oceanic ridge are younger than the rocks that are away from the mid-oceanic ridge.

Thus, the youngest rocks are formed along the mid-oceanic ridge at a divergent plate boundary which is at the middle of the ocean.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

The youngest rock in the oceans is found at mid-ocean ridges, where they are formed continually - the oceanic crust. The oceans and continents are always shifting.

How do frogs utilize extensor and flexor muscles in order to swim, jump, and do other frog things efficiently; include specific
ahrayia [7]
<span>The structure of the feet and legs varies greatly among frog species, depending in part on whether they live primarily on the ground, in water, in trees or in burrows. Frogs must be able to move quickly through their environment to catch prey and escape predators, and numerous adaptations help them to do so. Most frogs are either proficient at jumping or are descended from ancestors that were, with much of the musculoskeletal morphology modified for this purpose. The tibia, fibula, and tarsals have been fused into a single, strong bone, as have the radius and ulna in the fore limbs (which must absorb the impact on landing). The metatarsals have become elongated to add to the leg length and allow the frog to push against the ground for a longer period on take-off. The illium has elongated and formed a mobile joint with the sacrum which, in specialist jumpers such as ranids and hylids, functions as an additional limb joint to further power the leaps. The tail vertebrae have fused into a urostyle which is retracted inside the pelvis. This enables the force to be transferred from the legs to the body during a leap </span>
<span>The muscular system has been similarly modified. The hind limbs of ancestral frogs presumably contained pairs of muscles which would act in opposition (one muscle to flex the knee, a different muscle to extend it), as is seen in most other limbed animals. However, in modern frogs, almost all muscles have been modified to contribute to the action of jumping, with only a few small muscles remaining to bring the limb back to the starting position and maintain posture. The muscles have also been greatly enlarged, with the main leg muscles accounting for over 17% of the total mass of the frog.</span>

Why are fences put along some beaches ?
kvv77 [185]

The answer is; B

Sometimes winds carry the sand of the beaches causing erosion. The fences act as breakers of this wind erosion. As wind tries to carry the sand, they encounter the fence and 'break'. Therefore, the sand is deposited along the fence forming a sand dune. These dunes also form protection from storm surges.

Where are glaciers found select 3 opt
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Glaciers will only form under certain conditions and in specific environments. A cold climate and sufficient moisture in the air for the precipitation of snow are both necessary factors that permit at least some snow to last year-round. This allows for the build-up and compaction of snow that will eventually become glacial ice. Sufficiently cold climate conditions exist at high altitudes and high latitudes.

Explanation:

There must be landmasses at high latitudes for continental glaciers to occur, as they cannot form over open water. While persistent sea ice can and does form, because it floats, it does not flow as a glacier does.
