Answer:
To the east, the North American plate shares the Mid-Atlantic Ridge with the Eurasian plate. This divergent margin, offset throughout by transform faults, began spreading approximately 180 Ma ago, opening the North Atlantic Ocean. Evidence of Mesozoic juvenile crust formation in New England can be correlated with the event.
Explanation:
The San Andreas transform boundary between the Pacific and North American plate originates from the shallow, oblique subduction by the North American plate of the Monterey microplate
The Monterey-Pacific ridge stopped spreading and Monterey accreted to the Pacific plate. As a result, the Pacific plate’s motion with respect to the North American rotated, transforming a network of shallow faults into dextral transform faults
I’m confused, 3 observations on what?
C) the fighting of the Persian wars
hope this helps
Answer:
Option (2)
Explanation:
The mid oceanic ridge is the region along which two plates moves away from one another. This occurs in the divergent plate boundary. The magma, during this type of plate motion, comes out to the surface of the ocean floor and solidifies immediately due to the lowering temperature, giving rise to the formation of basaltic rocks.
The solidification age refers to the time when the magma last crystallized as it ejected at the ocean floor.
According to the given condition, the magma last solidified nearly 10,000 years back in the mid oceanic ridge, which are considered to be the youngest rocks found along the mid oceanic ridge.
Thus, the correct answer is option (2).
