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.

PLZ HELP Sediments are almost always deposited in flat layers. Does it appear that forces in the Earth affected the rock layers
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

In this region we see that faulting has occurred. Because the rock strata are not lined up with one another across the entire region, it is clear that the land has faulted and the the two edge blocks have slipped downwards leaving the middle block uplifted or that the middle block has been pushed upwards.

These two types of faulting are called normal faulting and reverse faulting. They are the result of tension and compression stresses, respectively, that pull and compress the rocks creating fractures called faults. If the stress is sufficient, the outer blocks slide downward or the middle block is uplifted.

Geologists study the density of seismic activity in a region by comparing the number of earthquakes to the area of the region. T
Ipatiy [6.2K]

The seismic activity density of the year for Alaska will be smaller than that of California if Alaska has more land area than California.

It should be noted that the seismic activity of a region simply means the ratio of the number of earthquakes that occur in the period to the land area.

Based on the information given, the seismic activity density of the year for Alaska will be smaller than for California if Alaska had more land area. From the complete question, the number of earthquakes from the information given will be 18020 earthquakes.
