Answer:

Check Explanation.

Explanation:

In order to be able to answer this question effectively and efficiently we have to consider the Newton's law of Universal gravitation which is given by the mathematical representation below;

Gravitational force, F = G (m1 × m2) / r^2.

Where G = Gravitational constant, m1 and m2 and the masses of body one and two respectively and r = distance.

So, we can deduce that the mass(in form of kinetic energy) increase at large distance and this makes the speed to reduce.

How does a convection cell in the mantle lead to volcanism at the mid-ocean ridge?
ivolga24 [154]

The convection cell is basically a self-contained in which there is a motion, where the hotter fluid is moving upward because of the lesser density, while the cooler fluid is moving downward because it is denser. This leads to constant circular movement of the magma in the mantle layer, and the one that moves upward is constantly creating big pressure on the crust above it, penetrating through the cracks in it or melting it and intruding. As the magma pushes upward, it manages to get through the thinner and cracked crust between the plates that move away from each other at the divergent boundary. The magma reaches the ocean floor and quickly cools off, creating new crust, and that continues constantly, with more and more magma coming out and more and more new crust pilling up, eventually creating an underwater mountain range of volcanic origin known as mid-ocean ridge.
