How do ridges and rises differ? Rises are broader and more gently sloped than ridges. Divergence occurs more quickly at a ridge.
Leni [432]

Answer:

Option (3)

Explanation:

Mid-oceanic ridges are the regions along which two distinct plates move away from one another. This type of plate boundary is known as the divergent plate boundary.

Whereas a rise occurs along a divergent plate boundary and is mostly associated with the region of hot-spots, where the magma is forced to rise up forming a gently steeper underwater highland area.

Both these features occur in a divergent plate boundary and plays an important role in pushing the continents apart. So we can conclude that the rises are mostly associated with the region of hot-spots, and ridges are formed due to the seafloor spreading at divergent plate boundaries.

Hence, the correct answer is option (3).

If sun lost all its energy what would happen to earth and its inhabitants
Korvikt [17]
If you put a steamy cup if coffee in refrigerator, it wouldn't immediately turn cold. Likewise, if the sun simply turned off , the earth would stay warm - at least compared with the space surrounding it - for a few million years. But we surface dwellers would feel the chill much sooner than that.within a week, the average global surface temperature would drop below 0degree F. In a year, it would dip to -100degrees. The top layers of oceans would freeze over
Although some microorganisms living in the earths crust would survive, photosynthesis would halt immediately, and most plants would die in few weeks , and animals who eats plants would die off quickly
