There are mountain ranges in the middle of the ocean floor. Because of the higher elevation gravity pushes down on the edges of the plates. This is called ridge push.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Ridge push is a simple explanation of the height of the landforms based on the gravity and the elasticity of the underlying rock. It says when a landform gets too much higher, the weight of the overlying rock and soil pushes the landform back to plains. Thereby an equilibrium is maintained.  

Slab pull is a theory proposed which visualizes the earth interior as a pool of hot molten lava that has a convection current going on. It explains why the crust of the earth continuously moves slowly and forms mountains and other rift valleys.

anastassius [24]
A researcher observing an ecosystem describes the amount of sunlight, precipitation, and type of soil present. The researcher is most likely describing abiotic factors in a prairie. 
A and B are incorrect because the factors described are abiotic, not biotic.
Di is incorrect because abiotic factors listed include soil, which is not likely to be described in an ocean environment.

Alecsey [184]

Carbon skeletons may vary in length, shape, number and location of double bonds and other elements covalently bonded to available sites.

A carbon atom contains four valence electrons thus, exhibiting a strong tendency to make covalent bonds with other atoms so as to complete its octet. Covalent bonds join carbon atoms together in long chains that create the skeletal framework for organic molecules.

A carbon atom could be linked to as many as four additional carbon atoms in an organic compound. Carbon atoms can also quickly form double bonds (where four electrons are shared among two atoms) and triple bonds (where six electrons are shared).

This variation in carbon skeletons contributes to the diversity and complexity of organic molecules.
