Which statement correctly identifies Old Faithful and explains how it formed?

Geography

Answer:

It is a geyser that formed due to water heated by magma erupting at Earth’s surface.

Answer:

Option (4)

Explanation:

In volcanic areas, some of the surface water percolates downward through the cracks and fissures present in the rocks and it eventually comes in contact with the deeper rocks, that are heated by the hot uprising magma. These are areas of shallow depth where the magma is at a much closer distance to the surface of the earth. This water then gets heated up by this heat flow, as a result of which the water becomes warm and less dense and rises upward. It then erupts at the surface, forming a hot-spring. These hot-springs are known as geysers.

Thus, the correct answer is option (4).

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

-The feature was most likely caused by one oceanic crust subducting under a leading edge of a continent.

-It is most likely a deep-ocean trench because they are common along the margins of the Pacific Ocean.

-It is most likely a deep-ocean trench because they are common along the active continental margins.

Explanation:

Subduction is a geological process that leads to the creation of several geological features. It usually occurs when there is a movement of one plate against another plate that is caused by a high potential energy. This kind of geological processes usually occurs at regions known as subduction zones which has the highest crash events all over the world.

What are three lines of evidence that support the hypothesis that our sea floor spreads apart at ocean ridges. Name and describe
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Sea floor spreading theory is given Harry Hess the line of evidence that support this are given as under.

Explanation:

Evidence from Molten Matter  

In the 1960s scientists found that there is a presence of new materials from below that need the lava to be uplifted and spread along the boundaries of mid-oceanic ridges i.e the lava or magma spreads through the active plate margins of both plates. The red sea is newly formed is an example of spreading, <u>(a process of oceanic basin creation)</u>.

Evidence from Magnetic strips

The magnetism of the earth helped the scientists study the process of seafloor spreading as the newly formed lava gets deposited on either side of the ridges it takes the magnetic properties of the earth. The ocean floor is divided into strips of north and south after cooling.

Active and passive plate margins.  

The tri-junction of plates and newly discovered plate like that od red sea and splitting of the rift valley and transform faults. Movement of continents away from each other. Examples include Eastern pacific rise and Mid Atlantic ridge.

The convergent plate boundaries are formed when two lithospheric plates move toward each other. The nature of a convergent bound
oee [108]

Answer:

1. oceanic-oceanic boundaries

2. oceanic-continental boundaries

3. continental-continental boundaries

Explanation:

The three types of plate convergence are:

1. oceanic-oceanic boundaries: this occurs when two oceanic plates clash; thereby the heavier plate forms below the lighter plate resulting in dark, heavy, basaltic volcanic islands.

2. oceanic-continental boundaries: this occurs when there is a collision between oceanic and continental plates, resulting in the downward movement of oceanic plate, while the volcanic arc rises on land

3. continental-continental boundaries: this occurs due to the massive crust of slabs clashing against each other. Thereby leading to big mountains forming from folded, faulted, and thickened convergent boundaries
