Answer:
1- Option (D)
2- FALSE
Explanation:
The seafloor spreading takes place because of the divergent plate motion. Alfred Wegener observed this motion of the seafloor and the continents but was not able to explain the main mechanism behind this until the new theory came into the picture. The divergent motion of seafloor and the motion of the continents were explained by the universally accepted theory known as the Plate tectonic theory. This theory was able to explain the mechanism behind this plate motion.
The study of the seafloor spreading provided some pieces of evidence that supported the continental drift theory. They gave a basic idea about how the oceanic plate gets subducted (consumed) at the convergent plate motion that undergoes partial melting at greater depth. As a result of which the magma rises up to the surface on the overriding plates.
The crust represents the outermost layer of the earth. They are of 2 types, namely the oceanic and the continental crust. These crusts when slide past one another in a transform plate boundary, it is neither created nor destroyed. It remains conserved.
Thus, the correct answers are given above and the second statement is false.
Answer:
Because the amplitude of the surface waves diminishes less rapidly with distance than the amplitude of P or S waves, surface waves are often the most important component of ground shaking far from the EARTHQUAKE source, thus can be the most destructive.
Answer:
otayy, leo.
the oldest mountain, we can say its been around for a while now so it would make sense as to why it would be leo. since its been around the earth has changed and moved shifting plates etc, this takes time. making leos answer make more sense. again im not sure abt this response but this answer (leo) should be right
Answer:
It changes soil chemistry, leeching out important minerals
Explanation:
but acidic deposition means
"causing neighboring governments to have disagreements"
The ecological effects of acid rain are most clearly seen in aquatic environments, such as streams, lakes, and marshes where it can be harmful to fish and other wildlife. As it flows through the soil, acidic rain water can leach aluminum from soil clay particles and then flow into streams and lakes
I'm not really sure! I believe it is 'It changes soil chemistry, leeching out important minerals' Sorry if I am incorrect!
