The diagram below shows a cross section of Earth’s layers. Arrows show the direction of the flow of rock in the outer layers of

Earth.
Movement of rock in Earth’s crust can occur because of heat flow, as hot rock rises and cool rock sinks, and because of new rock pushing older rock away from ridges. What is the best description of how the older rock moves to allow continents to move apart, leaving behind ocean basins?

(SC.7.E.6.7)

Group of answer choices

As new rock forms at ocean ridges, the older rock is pulled towards the ridge. This moves Earth’s crust, so continental plates can move closer together, forming ocean basins.

As new rock forms at ocean ridges, the older rock is pushed up to form mountain ranges. These mountain ranges push continental plates farther apart, leaving behind ocean basins.

As new rock forms at ocean ridges, the older rock is pushed away from the ridge. This moves Earth’s crust, so continental plates can move closer together, forming ocean basins.

Some people find it helpful to move around while they read. Speak out loud as well, it will force your mind stay on track. Fidget some, get a fidget idem or just move some part of your bod, this especially helps when you are in school and do not have time for breaks. You can try changing positions every so often. Do not try to work all at once either, read in short burst and take a break to think about what you read. Keep distracting things out of your line of sight. It might also help to change the subject material once and a while.
I hope this is a little bit helpful :)

Why did long-range voyages not follow a straight line when crossing large areas of ocean during the Age of Exploration?
Dimas [21]
The correct answer is <span>C. Ships had to take wind and currents into account.

That is because sometimes going in a curvy line on sea is much faster than going in a straight line because of water currents and winds. Ships were definitely able to go for a while out in the ocean and navigators knew where they were going, they just believed that it was a different place but they knew how to go westwards.</span>
