Answer:

The landform that will form is a mid-ocean ridge.

Explanation:

When tectonic plates move away from each other they form a divergent plate boundary. At this type of boundary, as the plates move away, a gap starts to open up gradually. This gap becomes wider and wider over time and the crust is made much less thick, which in turn presents a good opportunity for the magma to come out on the surface.

Because the crust is weaker and thinner, the magma manages to rise through it and rich the surface relatively easily. As it does, the magma reaching the surface, or rather the bottom of the ocean, it solidifies in the water and as more and more magma comes out it piles up. By piling up and constantly creating new rock an underwater mountain chain starts to form and this type of mountain chain is known as a mid-ocean ridge.

Why does the ozone hole form in spring?
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

c) No UV light until spring

Explanation:

According to research, chlorofluorocarbons also known as CFCs, are chemicals that are mainly responsible for the destruction of the ozone gas.

<em><u>This is all due to the interaction of different factors, and not only because of the presence of UV. </u></em>

In Antarctica, the ozone levels become significantly reduced during spring because of these chemicals that contain chlorine, producing a hole where cool air becomes trapped. This air produces clouds that are responsible of the release of chlorine from the CFCs, an extremely important process of the formation of an ozone hole. The more clouds there are, the more gases are released, and the worse the ozone hole will be in spring.

Because the sun rises and becomes more intense during spring, it degrades these gases and releases the free radicals of chlorine, which are highly detrimental for the ozone layer as they destroy numerous molecules of ozone. By the beginning of summer, there is a higher amount of ozone that comes from other areas which help fill the ozone hole.

In ancient Egypt, what role could a woman play in medicine? 1 Women had many rights but were unable to practice law or medicine.
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Correct answer is 3 Any woman who could read or write would be able to be trained as a physician.

Explanation:

Third option is correct because there were many female doctors in Egypt, which is shown by historical evidence. We even have the name Merit-Ptah, which is the first known female doctor in Egypt. She lived around 2900 BC.

First option is wrong, because women had right to be educated.

Second option is wrong because there is no evidence that only women could train women.

Last option is wrong as women were highly respected in the society. We even have examples of pharaoh who were women.
