Spreading centers with high spreading rates, such as those where plates are diverging rapidly, are characterized by a long, gent

ly sloping ridge. The ridge forms as a well-developed magma chamber beneath causes the rock to swell upward. In contrast, spreading centers with slow spreading rates have poorly developed magma chambers and a well-defined rift valley developed at the center of the ridge. Drag the appropriate labels to their respective targets. You do not need to use all labels. View available hint(s)

Answer and explanation;

Slow spreading rate

Top middle- rift valley  

Top Right- poorly- developed magma chamber

Rapid Speading rate

Top left- Swell

Top Right- Well- Developed magma chamber

Bottom middle- Diverging plates

Explanation;

-Seafloor spreading is a process that occurs at mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity and then gradually moves away from the ridge.

-This is what happens at the mid-oceanic ridge where a divergent boundary is causing two plates to move away from one another resulting in spreading of the sea floor. As the plates move apart, new material wells up and cools onto the edge of the plates.

Compare salt marshes and mangrove forests and explain why mangrove forests are such critical habitats on high energy coasts.​
Kryger [21]

Answer:

Explanation:Coastal wetlands in the southeastern U.S. provide many important ecosystem goods and services. In addition to supporting important fish and wildlife habitat, they maintain coastal fisheries, store carbon, improve water quality, protect coastlines, and provide recreational opportunities. In many ways, coastal wetlands are dynamic and resilient ecosystems; however, they are being subjected to tremendous environmental change at the regional (e.g., hydrologic alterations, nutrient enrichment) and global scale (e.g., climate change).

One aspect of global change that is expected to have a substantial impact on coastal wetlands is winter climate change. Salt marshes and mangrove forests are common coastal wetland ecosystem types that occupy similar estuarine environments but have different climatic tolerances. In warmer climates, mangrove trees often outcompete salt marsh grasses. However, mangrove forests are sensitive to freezing temperatures, and within the region, mangrove forests are currently found only in Florida, Louisiana, and Texas (though isolated individuals have been reported in Mississippi). Salt marshes are more dominant along colder coastlines where mangroves are not able to survive freeze events. Future climate change is expected to result in increased winter temperatures and, potentially, reductions in the intensity of freeze events which could lead to mangrove forest replacement of salt marsh in parts of the Gulf of Mexico and southeastern Atlantic coast.

From a functional perspective, salt marsh grasses and mangrove trees are foundation species that control ecosystem dynamics and, in stressful and highly dynamic environments, provide the structural properties needed by other species; hence, the ecological and conservation implications of grass-to-tree conversions in coastal wetlands could be large (in both positive and negative ways). Dr. Mike Osland, USGS Research Ecologist and GCPO LCC staffer, along with 4 collaborating scientists, has initiated a study that addresses the following question: how might winter climate change impact the distribution and abundance of salt marshes and mangrove forests in the southeastern U.S.?

Their results begin to illustrate the vulnerability of salt marshes in the southeastern U.S. to mangrove forest expansion and quantify the amount of salt marsh habitat within each state that could be impacted by mangrove forest expansion under various winter climate change scenarios. The preliminary results are striking in terms of the potential for mangrove forest range expansion and coastal marsh displacement in the region. The hope is that these analyses stimulate additional discussion, research, and planning regarding the potential ecological and conservation implications of winter climate change for coastal wetlands in the southeastern U.S.

inessss [21]

Answer:

The answer should be AGE 7

Explanation:

At age 4 Children starts to understand death's entirety. Study reveals that at about age 3, 10 percent of children understand finality against 58 percent of 4-year-olds. As time goes on the remaining two facets of death are learned as time goes on at the age 7.

Need help asap please :( I think its C but I don't think that's right
Mrac [35]

Answer: I am taking this flvs test right now and I think it might be A or B

I think the final answer would be A

Explanation:

The reason I don't think its C because the addition of primary producers wouldn't directly affect secondary consumers. It would first affect the primary consumers.

The only answer that would directly affect a certain group is A.
