4 0

Answer:

It is thin & mostly made of granite and limestone :0

Explanation:

The oceanic crusts are thin and are usually about a thickness of about 5 to 7 km. They contain rocks that are poor in silica and mostly enriched in magnesium (Mg) and iron (Fe). Due to the divergent motion of plates, seafloor spreading takes place as a result of which the hot molten magma comes out to the ocean floor and immediately cools down and gets solidified along the mid-oceanic ridge. The rock types produced here are mainly basaltic in nature. Basalt is a mafic rock and is comprised of denser minerals due to which the oceanic crust is relatively denser than the continental crust. Pillow basalts also form in this region.

Thus, the crust that is present beneath the Atlantic ocean is also comprised of basaltic to andesitic in composition.

Rashid [163]

Answer:

farmers

Explanation:

The Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 was passed by President Grover Cleveland. This law was intended to regulate the transport of goods through railway industries. Under this law, rail industries were required to set fair tariffs for the transport of goods without discriminating prices for smaller markets that shipped less freight, and they had to disclose tariffs that were to be fair and reasonable.

Farmers became very supportive of this regulation, as it reduced spending on the transportation of agricultural products and tools, as well as favoring small farmers.
