Why is there no ocean-continent divergence? I need to know I'm just in 6th grade 

Biology
1 answer:
Levart [38]3 years ago

Divergence is due to upwelling mantle thinning and extending the crust when the mantle decompressed and melts basalt is formed. Basalt and other mafic rocks from oceanic crust while continental crust is made up of mostly felsic (but some mafic) rocks. Upwelling mantle does thin continental crust and sometimes this thinning leads to new oceanic basins. Thus oceanic crust is formed from divergent oceanic plates (at mid oceanic rifts) and continental crust can become oceanic crust when upwelling mantle rifts continents into new oceanic basins

Genetic modification in agriculture is like nuclear power: nobody loves it, but climate change has made it an important option.
Alenkinab [10]

The correct answer is option c, that is, people voting not to allow government money to fund genetic modification research.  

The scientists from the Food and Drug Administration had continuously warned that the genetically modified foods can develop hard to detect and unpredictable side effects, like toxins, allergies, nutritional issues, and new diseases.  

The GM plants, like corn, soybean, canola, and cottonseed, have had foreign genes forced into their DNA. The inserted genes come from species, like viruses and bacteria that have never been in the supply of human food.  

The genetic engineering procedure develops massive collateral destruction, making mutations in several locations all through the DNA of the plant. The natural genes can be permanently turned off or deleted, and many may have modified their behavior.  

Even the gene inserted may get rearranged or damaged, and may produce proteins, which can promote disease or initiate allergies.
