Question
Mid-ocean ridges are steeper and less broad than rises because:
Group of answer choices
A) the rocks of the mid-ocean ridges are composed of more dense mineral than the rises.
B) the rocks of the mid-ocean ridges are composed of less dense mineral than the rises.
C) The seafloor spreading rate of ridges are faster than rises causing the oceanic crust to subside closer to the ridge axis.
D) The seafloor spreading rate of ridges are slower than rises causing the oceanic crust to subside closer to the ridge axis.
E) Every ridge is composed of continental crust.
Answer:
The correct answer is D.
Explanation:
In volcanic regions, as the molten magma flows out onto the seafloor creating new beds, the faster it flows, the less steep the mid-ocean ridge is. If however, it is slow-flowing, then oceanic lithosphere formed cool closer to the ridge axis thus making it very steep.

There’s no image but if there is something about an ice skater turning the rink then that is the answer
Answer:
C. The fact that Earth rotates around its axis
Explanation:
The seasons are caused by the tilt of the Earth's rotational axis away or toward the sun as it travels through its year-long path around the sun. The Earth has a tilt of 23.5 degrees relative to the "ecliptic plane"
Answer:
La presión del agua es una de las razones.
Explanation:
Una gran razón de esto es la presión presente en el agua. El agua es más pesada que el aire, por lo que a presiones más profundas se vuelve más difícil para ciertos animales funcionar. Para dar cuenta de esto, muchos organismos y plantas dentro del agua se desarrollan para no tener esqueletos, ciertos órganos y otras partes del cuerpo que limitan su existencia en el agua. Las medusas son un buen ejemplo de esto.
No, The magnetic north shifts overtime due to the rotation of liquid iron in the earth! So your answer would be No they are not always the same distance apart! Hope this helps :)
