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 the nervous system and endocrine system work together? apex?
jek_recluse [69]
The nervous and the endocrine system are tightly linked together.
The main reason for this linkage is due to the connection of the hypothalamus (nervous system) and the hypophysis (a gland in the endocrine system)
The hypophysis is the ''controller'' of all of the other endocrine glands.
The connection between the hypothalamus and the hypophysis enables the nervous system to control the hormone levels of all of the major endocrine glands in the body.
The hypothalamus releases hormones into the bloodstream that leads to the hypophysis. These hormones induce a release of hypophysis hormones that enter the bloodstream and when they reach the target gland (for example pancreas) these hormones induce the release of the hormones of that gland (in the case of the pancreas, insulin).
The hypothalamus monitors the concentration of hormones in the blood, and a high level of a certain hormone blocks the release of the hypothalamus' hormones. Therefore, a high level of insulin blocks a cascade of hormone release that starts in the hypothalamus that leads to its release in the pancreas.
