Answer:

C) seafloor spreading

Explanation:

  • The process of the seafloor spreading is the main theme on which the newer oceanic crust form or begins to develop and the rise of divergent plates from the mid-ocean zone also is responsible for the formation of the new plates on the floor.
  • <u>Thus due to these events the plates get created and the current spreading rate of the Atlantic ocean is thus widening and the pacific ocean crust is thus collapsing and the opening of the newer plate margins form the ocean deeps. </u>
  • This process is related to that of the paleomagnetism and the drifting away fo the super continental landmasses and thus the formation of the Americas and the closing of the Tethys sea.
  • Hence the seafloor spreading is a dynamic concept as it widens the oceanic basins and the plates spread from the new to the old areas.

MariettaO [177]
  • <u><em>Answer for question #1 : </em></u>Litter in Earth's water supply from consumer and commercial use creates a toxic environment. The water is ingested by deer, fish and a variety of other animals. The toxins may cause blood clotting, seizures or serious medical issues that can kill animals.
  • <u><em>Answer for question #2 : </em></u>Bottom trawling - dragging nets across the sea floor to scoop up fish - stirs up the sediment lying on the seabed, displaces or harms some marine species, causes pollutants to mix into plankton and move into the food chain and creates harmful algae blooms or oxygen-deficient dead zones.
  • <u><em>Answer for question #3 : </em></u>Peregrine usually nests on the cliffs of Rock Cliffs. However, the Falcons have been able to adapt to using taller buildings. Window boxes and other niches in the buildings provide a place to lay a female egg. Peregrines lay their eggs in a nest depression called a “scrape.”
  • <u><em>Answer for question #4 : </em></u>Decline of milkweed leads to decline in monarch butterflies, simple as that. At the garden center, we sold quite a few milkweed (asclepiads incarnate) and butterfly weed (ascidia tuberose), both of which are vital to the survival of the monarch butterfly.
