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.

1. Which of the following is a correct description of a tornado? (1 point)
spayn [35]
<h2>Answer: Option D</h2><h2 />

Option A, "a large swirling, low-pressure system that forms over the warm Atlantic Ocean"  is incorrect because tornadoes do not form over water. That would be a hurricane.

Option B, "a winter storm with wind speeds of at least 56 km/h and low visibility" Is incorrect because tornadoes do not form in cold weather. That would be a blizzard.

Oa boundary between two air masses of different density, moisture, or temperature​ption C, "a violently rotating column of air in contact with the ground" is correct <u>because tornadoes are columns of air that rotate due to warm air and cold air colliding.</u> They usually occur during a thunderstorm.

Option D, "a boundary between two air masses of different density, moisture, or temperature​" is incorrect because tornadoes are not based on air mass, density, moisture, or temperature. This would be a front.

Klio2033 [76]
In Ptolemy's earth-centered model for the solar system, Venus's phase is never full as viewed from earth because it always lies between earth and the sun. In reality, as Galileo first recognized, Venus is full.

<span>Venus is closer to the Sun than Earth. That is why we cannot see the full Venus. However, Venus is full (whenever it is on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth). From Earth, Venus's phases range only between new and crescent.</span>
