The correct answer is C) Seafloor spreading

This new oceanic crust is gradually moved away from the ridge itself. Seafloor spreading is one of the reasons of the continental drift

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.

BD is the angle bisector of ZABC
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

x = 7, y = 2

Explanation:

Two triangles are said to be congruent if all three sides and three angles of one triangle is equal to three sides and three angles of the other triangle.

From the question:

BD ≅ BD (reflexive property of equality)

Since BD is the angle bisector of ∠ABC, hence ∠ABD = ∠CBD

∠ABD = 2x + y, ∠CBD = 14 + y. Therefore:

2x + y = 14 + y

2x = 14 + y - y

2x = 14

x = 14 / 2

x = 7

Also, ∠BAD = ∠BCD = 90° (right angled triangle)

Since ∠BAD = ∠BCD, BD ≅ BD and ∠ABD = ∠CBD, therefore ΔABD is congruent to ΔCBD by angle-angle-side congruence theorem.

The angle-angle-side congruence theorem states that if two angles and one side of one triangle is equal to two angles and one side of another triangle the both triangles are congruent.

ΔABD is congruent to ΔCBD, therefore AD = CD

5x - y = x + 13y

13y + y = 5x - x

14y = 4x

14y = 4(7)

y = 4(7) / 14

y = 2

Why is London, United Kingdom,farther north than Ottawa, Canada, yet it has a warmer climate than Ottawa?
Alisiya [41]

So there's actually two answers to this question.  The Gulf Stream is part of the reason why Britain is warmer, since it carries so much warm water, but the difference between a maritime and a continental climate is more important. At the latitudes of Canada and Britain, the prevailing winds are coming from the west. If you're in the east, the prevailing winds are gonna have to travel all the way across the ocean, which will lead to it being warmer in the winter, and colder in the summer.  If you've got thousands of miles of continent out to windward, your climate will be more extreme. If you're going across the entire ocean, it's gonna be more mild, and predictable. Continents just get hotter and colder than oceans, and this affects the temperature of the atmosphere passing over them.
