Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

Arizona is one of the state in the United States of America, located at the southwestern part of it. The rocks in this region are belongs to the precambrian age. The rocks that are present at the base are the igneous as well as the crystalline metamorphic rocks. With the increasing time, periodic mountain building process has taken place here, such as the Grenville orogeny during the Proterozoic, Nevadan orogeny as well as Sevier orogeny in the Mesozoic era.  

The age of this basement rocks and the south east portion of Arizona is about 1.8 to 1.4 billion years old.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

The Climate is hot, Wet and humid in Malaysia and cold and wet in siberia throughout the year. Why?​
slega [8]

Answer:

This all has to do with the location of the two areas.

Explanation:

Siberia is farther away from the equator, therefore, the sun does not make direct contact with it. The equator is the middle of the earth, and because it gets more exposure to sunlight, and the sun is always directly above them in the sky, the climate is very different from areas in places like Russia, Canada, and Iceland.

Describe in detail what causes seafloor spreading. Use as many key terms as possible.
bixtya [17]

Answer:

Seafloor spreading results from intense activity in the upper mantle which cracks the crust and pushes it away.

Explanation:

Seafloor spreading is a process that was first noticed by Alfred Wegener and was used by him in his theory of plate tectonics. There are three types of plate boundaries; convergent boundary, transform boundary, and divergent boundary. The last one is the one where seafloor spreading occurs.

The convection currents in the mantle are the process that breaks up the crust and move the tectonic plates, and when there is higher activity than usual at some place it results in break up the crust of an already existing tectonic plate.  Basically, magma rises at a higher rate and pushes through the crust, in this case, the oceanic crust, and it manages to gradually break through it and come out on the seafloor. By doing so, the magma and the pressure from below are pushing the two now divided parts of the plate. As the space between the two different parts becomes larger and large the density of the crust becomes smaller and smaller so more and more magma rises through. The magma quickly solidifies on the ocean floor and piles up, thus creating an underwater mountain range known as a mid-ocean ridge.
