Once had the highest deforestation rate in the world and in 2005 still had the largest area of forest removed annually.[1] Since 1970, over 700,000 square kilometers (270,000 sq mi) of the Amazon rainforest have been destroyed. In 2012, the Amazon was approximately 5.4 million square kilometres, which is only 87% of the Amazon's original state.[2]

Rainforests have decreased in size primarily due to deforestation. Despite reductions in the deforestation rate over the last ten years, the Amazon rainforest will be reduced by 40% by 2030 at the current rate.[3] Between May 2000 and August 2006, Brazil lost nearly 150,000 km2 of forest, an area larger than Greece. According to the Living Planet Report 2010, deforestation continues at an alarming rate. But at the CBD 9th Conference, 67 ministers signed up to help achieve zero net deforestation by 2020.

At mid-ocean ridges, as two plates diverge solid mantle in the asthenosphere rises toward the surface and begins to melt due to
Naddik [55]

Answer:

Option (1)

Explanation:

In a divergent plate boundary, the two plates move away from one another. In an ocean basin, seafloor spreading takes place at the mid-oceanic ridge, and in the continental areas, rifting takes place and forms rift valley.

During the time of divergent motion of the plates, the magma rises upward with great force. Due to this, the lithosphere becomes thin, and there comes a point, when the pressure exceeds. This results in the eruption of magma at the seafloor. As the magma reaches the surface, there occurs the process of decompression, where the magma experiences a lesser amount of pressure by the overlying rocks. The magma then solidifies and eventually forms basaltic igneous rocks along this mid-oceanic ridge and these are the geologically youngest rocks.

thus, the correct answer is option (1).
