Agriculture can prove extremely difficult to maintain on a rocky mountain and with such poor infrastructure it is also difficult to import goods on a JIT (Just In Time) sort of basis where you receive these goods as you need them. Infrastructure also includes communication and other services and with such a technologically developed era we depend on technology and this can deter a lot of people from settling in these regions, additionally the wildlife in these regions consists greatly of predators which can be deemed a threat to habitants who are unprepared. The sheer abundance of wildlife and non industrial landscapes can also mean that people will not want to live in these regions

Which observation about the Mid-Atlantic Ridge region provides the best evidence that the seafloor has been spreading for millio
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

D. Seafloor bedrock is younger near the ridge and older farther away.

Explanation:

In a divergence boundary oceanic plates or continental plates move apart. The plates moves apart causing an uprising of molten magma to form a new crust. The divergent movement of plate is very prevalent in the oceanic plates.

The plates in the oceanic crust moves apart due to the up welling of aesthenosphere materials . These aesthenosphere materials(molten magma) are introduce to the ocean floor through the mid oceanic ridge . As this materials are introduced through cracks and fissures, the plates continue to drift apart. The molten magma later solidified to form a new crust closer to the oceanic ridge.  This is why sea floor bedrock closer to the ridge is younger as new rocks are formed here. But as one move farther away from the ridge the rocks become older. This phenomenon provide ample evidence that the seafloor is spreading. The older rocks found father away from the ridge proves the seafloor has been spreading given way for new rocks closer to the ridge.

You watch a volcano erupt non-explosively, then 5 days later you see it erupt explosively.
alexdok [17]

D. high and low levels of silica in the different type of lava.

Explanation:

The volcanoes have different types of explosions. Some tend to be highly explosive, some less explosive, some don't have explosions at all, while some have combinations of different eruptions. The reason for this diversity in the eruption types is mostly the composition of the magma, or rather how high is the silica content in it.

Basically, the higher the silica level in the magma the higher the explosiveness, and the lower the silica level the lower the chances of explosiveness. This is the case because the higher amount of silica makes the magma thicker, so the gasses are trapped and they explode, while when the lower silica content makes the magma less thick, so the gasses are not trapped and explosions are lacking.
