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.

<span>The correct answer is B) choose the correct lane. It is always important when driving to ensure you are in the correct lane, but in roundabouts, it is essential to the traffic flow. Choice A is not correct because roundabouts are designed to slow down traffic and you need to be paying attention to what is going on and slowing down before you enter. Choice C is not correct because you do not have the right-of-way; the traffic already in the roundabout does and you would need to yield to them.

Green algae are mostly aquatic, some some live in _________ areas on land
Vilka [71]
Algae live in bodies of water and damp places and are commonly found in both aquatic and terrestrial environments. Terrestrial algae mostly live in moist, tropical areas. They prefer wet places, because they do not have vascular tissues and the other necessary adaptations to survive on land.
