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.

1 cm to 1,00,000 cm. As 1 km represents 1,00,000 cm. That's why 1 cm to 1 km.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Scale represents the ratio between map distance and ground distance. Representative Fraction, Graphical scale, Linear scale and Comparative scale, Statement scale all are various categories of scale.

In Representative Fraction (R.F) values are represented in ratio format. Here, 1 cm map distance representing 1,00,000 cm ground distance. As 1 km= 1,00,000 cm. That's why 1 cm to 1 km means 1 cm map distance represents 1 km ground distance in reality.

Statement scale represents the values in a sentence. For eg. 1 cm to 1 km. Linear scale represents the values in primary and secondary divisions likewise Comparative scale compares two different units in a single scale.
