Answer: Option (D)

Explanation: When two oceanic plate moves in opposite direction due to the convection current generated in the mantle, the crust gets thinner and eventually magma comes out to the ocean floor, forming new crust. Due to this divergent movement, a chain of volcanic arc are formed in their vicinity.

For example, the Hawaiian.

Hence the correct answer is option (D).

Doldrums  which  is  also  called  convergence  zone  is   an  equatorial  region  of  the  Atlantic  ocean  which  has  sudden  storms   and  light  unppredictable  winds.  In  addition  doldrum  is  abelt  around  the   earth  near   the  equator  where  the   sailing  ships  sometimes get  stuck  on  windless  water.

When plate tectonics cause cracks to form, ________________.
Simora [160]

The answer is B.

During plate tectonics, cracks may occur in the earth crust that causes magma to rise up from the mantle. The cracks may also cause cracks to form on the crust that makes outlet channels for the magma in magma chambers. These result in volcanic eruptions on the surface of the earth that form volcanic features such as mountains.

Describe the differences between the mountain belts and the stable interior with respect to their age (young/old), elevation (hi
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Difference is given as under

Explanation:

  • Mountain belts or mountain ranges are a line of hills connected by high ground. Usually an orogeny most of them are a result of plate tectonic effects and maybe young may be old depending upon their characteristic composition. Like the Himalayas is a young fold mountain formed in the tertiary system of rocks.
  • Usually, the mountain is separated from highlands, valleys, and passes. Usually, they tend to regulate the climate affecting snow and rainfall patterns. As compared to the stable interiors upon concerning their age are mostly young as they are continuously on the move and their formation is impacted by erosion and continuous wear and tear of geomaterials.
  • Concerning the height, the continents are lower as compared to the high elevated landmasses. Though the continents have large landmass and landscape is composed of various elements as mountain belts are smaller as composed to chains connecting the continents at the edges and borders.
  • Only continental mountain belts like the arctic and antarctic circle have a large scale of mountain chains and ranges on earth that are since millions and billions of years ago the formation of super landmasses.
