Answer and explanation:
a) The plate tectonics is a theory that suggests that Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle (rocky inner layer above the core), there are seven major plates that make up 94% of the Earth's surface and many smaller plates making up the other 6% (I annexed a map of those tectonic plates). The tectonic plates are in motion (presumably since the beginning of time), the movement of the plates creates three types of tectonic boundaries:<em> convergent </em>(plates move into one another); <em>divergent </em>(plates move apart); and <em>transform</em> (plates move sideways in relation to each other).
b)The Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) is a divergent tectonic plate or constructive plate boundary located along the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. <em>The MAR developed as a consequence of the divergent motion between the Eurasian and North American, and African and South American Plates</em>
c) In areas where the plates come together, sometimes volcanoes will form, they can also form in the middle of a plate, in places called "hot spots" where magma rises upward until it erupts on the seafloor. The Hawaiian Islands<em> were formed by such a hot spot occurring in the middle of the Pacific Plate.</em>

Answer:
Eratosthenes lived in the city of Alexandria (northern Egypt) and he knew that the Sun was never directly overhead at this location, even on the Summer Solstice. However, he knew that on Summer Solstice, in a town located in southern Egypt and named Syene, there was no shadow at the bottom of a well. This meant the Sun was directly overhead in the town of Syene at noon just on that day.
So, taking into account the sun is radiating to both places at the same time, but in Syene there is no shadow and in the second place,Alexandria, a shadow is observed, the logical explanation Eratosthenes concluded is that this must be a <u>curved surface. </u>With this in mind, Eratosthenes calculated the circumference of the Earth.
Therefore, if the Earth were flat, at both places the shadow would have been the same, and the calculation of the curvature of the Earth would have not been possible.
