<u>Explanation:</u>
Amid ocean ridge is a range of the mountain has been formed under the water and a crust is been developed at these ridges through out.

Answer:
The Philippine plate moves toward the Eurasian plate.
Explanation:
A is not correct because the Australian plate is located south of the Philippine plate, and with its movment being in a north-western manner it is nowhere near in a direction toward this plate.
B is not correct because the Arabian plate is located west of the Philippine plate which is not its direction of movement, and on top of it, they do not share a boundary.
C is not correct because the Antarctic plate is a plate located very far away from the Philippine plate, and the direction of movement is not toward one another.
D is correct because, with its north-western movement, the Philippine plate is moving toward the Eurasian plate, forming a subduction zone, where it gradually subducts below the much larger plate it moves towards.

By population concentration and density
Temperate deciduous forests have a great variety of plant species. Most have three levels of plants. Lichen, moss, ferns, wildflowers and other small plants can be found on the forest floor. Shrubs fill in the middle level and hardwood trees like maple, oak, birch, magnolia, sweet gum and beech make up the third level. Conifers like spruce, fir and pine trees can also be found mixed in with the hardwood trees in this biome. Sometimes the taiga and the temperate deciduous forest overlap.
Animal Life
CardinalThere is great diversity of life in this biome. Insects, spiders, slugs, frogs, turtles and salamanders are common. In North America, birds like broad-winged hawks, cardinals, snowy owls, and pileated woodpeckers are found in this biome. Mammals in North American temperate deciduous forests include white-tailed deer, raccoons, opossums, porcupines and red foxes.
Animals that live in the temperate deciduous forest must be able to adapt to the changing seasons. Some animals in this biome migrate or hibernate in the winter.
