The rocks would be younger the closer you get to the ridge

The Mid-Atlantic ridge is a divergent tectonic boundary in the middle of Atlantic Ocean spanning north to south.

Explanation:

At a divergent boundary, a phenomenon called seafloor spreading occurs as new crust is formed along the ridge. New crust seems to 'spread' from the ridge. Therefore, the farther away from the ridge you get, the older the crust gets. This occurs because magma from the mantle rises to replace the void created by the tectonic plates moving away. The magma rises and cools creating a mountainous ridge long the boundary. Seafloor spreading, however, happens really slowly and the changes are only perceptible over 1000s and millions of years.

In the human brain, a great deal of synaptic pruning occurs in early childhood. This pruning appears to be:_______.
Alex

Answer: D. An adaptive process that allows children to deal more efficiently with their environment.

Explanation:

Synaptic pruning is a natural process between early childhood and adulthood which occurs in the brain. The brain removes the extra synapses during synaptic pruning. Synapses are brain structures that allow the neurons to transmit to another neuron an electrical or chemical signal.  

Synaptic pruning is thought to help the brain transition from adolescence, when it can quickly learn and make new connections, to adulthood, when it is much more stable in its structure, but can concentrate on a single question for longer and conduct more complex thinking processes. Synaptic pruning make brain more adaptive to the external environment in early ages.

Hence, the correct option is D. An adaptive process that allows children to deal more efficiently with their environment.

_____ is the irregular break of a mineral
Sati [7]

Answer:

I'm not sure if this is right, but i believe the right answer would be fracture.

Explanation:

In geology, a fracture is any separation in a geologic formation, such as a joint or a fault that divides the rock into two or more pieces. A fracture will sometimes form a deep fissure or crevice in the rock. Fractures are commonly caused by stress exceeding the rock strength, causing the rock to lose cohesion along its weakest plane.

hope this helps :)
