The mass number of an element is equivalent to the number of Protons and Neutrons in the element. For example Oxygen has eight protons and neutrons, therefore its mass number is 16. You could also calculate this by simply rounding the atomic weight of the element to the nearest whole number. Oxygen's atomic weight is 15.994, which as you can see, would be rounded to 16 :)

How do ridges and rises differ? Rises are broader and more gently sloped than ridges. Divergence occurs more quickly at a ridge.
Leni [432]

Answer:

Option (3)

Explanation:

Mid-oceanic ridges are the regions along which two distinct plates move away from one another. This type of plate boundary is known as the divergent plate boundary.

Whereas a rise occurs along a divergent plate boundary and is mostly associated with the region of hot-spots, where the magma is forced to rise up forming a gently steeper underwater highland area.

Both these features occur in a divergent plate boundary and plays an important role in pushing the continents apart. So we can conclude that the rises are mostly associated with the region of hot-spots, and ridges are formed due to the seafloor spreading at divergent plate boundaries.

Hence, the correct answer is option (3).
