Answer:

It is possible to calculate the spreading rate of one side of a mid-ocean ridge by dividing distance by time (Distance/Time = Rate). This is called a half-spreading rate. Multiply it by 2 to get the full spreading rate for both sides of the ridge.

Why does a maritime tropical (mt) air mass tend to bring humid weather<br>and showers?​
klemol [59]

Answer:

Maritime tropical air masses originate over the warm waters of the tropics and Gulf of Mexico, where heat and moisture are transferred to the overlying air from the waters below. The northward movement of tropical air masses moves warm moist air into the United States, increasing the chances for precipitation.

Why is sea water salty?​
mina [271]

Answer:

<h3>Ocean salt primarily comes from rocks on land. ... Rocks on land are the major source of salts dissolved in seawater. Rainwater that falls on land is slightly acidic, so it erodes rocks. This releases ions that are carried away to streams and rivers that eventually feed into the ocean.</h3>
