Answer:
Option (1)
False
Explanation:
The mid-oceanic ridge is one of the main features in the divergent plate boundary. Seafloor spreading takes place along this ridge, where the lithosphere becomes thin because of the uprising magma. The magma erupts at the surface forming a ridge which is commonly known as the mid-oceanic ridge.
As the magma melts at this ridge due to the decompression process, it solidifies and forms young basaltic igneous rocks. These are geologically the youngest rocks. With the increasing distance right from the mid-oceanic ridge, the age of the rocks increases.
Thus, the correct answer is option (1).
At this mid-oceanic ridge, when the magma erupts at the seafloor, it is comprised of magnetic minerals, which shows a specific pattern in the orientation of the earth's magnetic polarity. This forms alternate stripes, that starts from the mid-oceanic ridge and eventually expand outward. This pattern of earth's magnetic polarity is found in all the mid-oceanic ridges on earth.
Hence the given statement is false.

Answer:
All of the above is true about the waxing gibbous and waning gibbous moon.
Explanation:
The first option is correct because the waxing gibbous moon is lit up on the right, with the moon moving into full moon phase next, and then being followed by a phase where it is lit up on the left, known as the gibbous waning moon.
The second option is correct because the moon moves from the waxing gibbous phase toward the full moon phase, it is becoming more and more lit up, thus it gains light, while the waning gibbous moon phase comes after the full moon phase where it is becoming less and less lit up, thus loses light.
The third option is correct because the lit up part of the moon in both of these phases has an elliptical shape, with the elongated part being on the top and bottom side, thus giving it an appearance like a football.

England claims the Falklands as their own territory and so do the Argentinians, conveniently creating the falklands war where the British won and gained the isles. But Argentina still claims the falklands as their land.
