Answer:

A.The Atlantic Ocean has more mid-ocean ridges than the Pacific Ocean so that keeps it growing larger.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

C) A convex lens has a thick center and thin edges; a concave lens has a thin center and thicker edges.

  • A convex lens is thicker at the center, as compared to its edges, while a concave lens is thinner at the center as compared to its edges.
  • A concave lens is thicker at the edges than in the middle and spreads light rays apart producing an image smaller than the actual object. A convex lens on the other hand, is thinner at the edges and thicker towards the center, that is they are bent towards a central point.
