Scientist: Cross-sections of stalactites - calcite formations deposited on cave ceilings by seeping water - can reveal annual va

riations in rainfall in particular areas over hundreds and thousands of years. We often found that when - according to these cross-sections - drought occurred in a particular area, it coincided with the collapse of an ancient society in that area. I hypothesize that drought reduced agricultural productivity in these areas, thereby leaving these societies without the resources needed to handle internal stresses and external threats.
Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the support for the scientist's hypothesis?
(a) Many droughts indicated in the cross-sections of stalactites do not correspond with the collapse of a society in that area.
(b) Information from the cross-sections of stalactites alone cannot reveal the level of agricultural output in an area at a particular time.
(c) Most of the societies that collapsed during droughts did so when internal power struggles coincided with military raids from neighboring societies.
(d) Most of the societies that collapsed during droughts maintained large stockpiles of food and water at the time of their collapse.
(e) Information from stalactites also suggests that the collapse of some societies coincided with periods of abnormally high rainfall.

Mid-ocean ridges (MORs), which are the sites of new oceanic crust formation, are linear mountain chains that run along divergent
Lemur [1.5K]

The correct answer is - As the hot magma exists the MOR, it shoots up higher than the surrounding crust.

The mid-ocean ridges are linear mountain chains on the ocean floor. They appear on places where there are divergent boundaries, meaning where two or more plates are moving away from one another.

As the plates move away, they leave thinner crust and gaps behind them, so the high pressure from the mantle manages to push upward the magma with ease. As the magma pushes upward it manages to move up the ocean floor as well. The magma cools of very quickly, thus creating new crust in no time. This new crust sits higher than the older one because the magma manages to push upward the ocean floor itself. Since the magma is continuously coming up and creates more and more new crust, it also gets out much higher because it makes a mountain of very hard igneous rocks around the source, thus constantly coming above the layers formed before.
