Answer:

B.

Explanation:

Volcanoes are the molten rocks (i.e., magma) that's been erupted out of the opening of Earth's crust in the form of lava. Volcanoes along with lava also releases gases, ash and solid rocks.

Plate tectonic is a scientific theory evolved from the theory of continental drift, proposed by Alfred Wegener. This theory was fully explained in 1960s. According to this theory, scientists believe that the Earth's crust is formed with six big lithospheric plate and several smaller ones. These plates are joined together like a big puzzle and are not fixed. These plates float on half molten magma and moves along the movement of these magma. They move few centimeters per year, either towards each other or apart from each other. This movement of these plates causes Earthquakes and Volcanoes.

Volcanoes are formed at the boundaries of these tectonic plates.

The mid-ocean ridges or underwater mountains are formed from the volcanic activity. Volcanoes that are formed at mid-ocean ridge is when two plates move apart from each other. In this activity, the plates move away from each other, magma rises up between the cracks and then it cools down and gets hardened up.

The author calls the ocean a complex patchwork of environments and it says it's not limitless. Explain what you think this means
KatRina [158]

Answer and Explanation:

When the author states that the ocean is like a patchwork quilt, he is referring to how the ocean is a highly diverse environment. As you already know, a patchwork is an object made up of elements that are completely different from each other, but which are able to harmoniously join together to form the patchwork. The ocean is also like that, as it is formed by several elements that are completely different, but that come together in harmony.

However, the ocean is not infinite, on the contrary, it can have an end, due to pollution and intense human exploitation that degrades the ocean immensely. This is what the author wants to present when he says that the ocean is not limitless.
