Question
Mid-ocean ridges are steeper and less broad than rises because:
Group of answer choices
A) the rocks of the mid-ocean ridges are composed of more dense mineral than the rises.
B) the rocks of the mid-ocean ridges are composed of less dense mineral than the rises.
C) The seafloor spreading rate of ridges are faster than rises causing the oceanic crust to subside closer to the ridge axis.
D) The seafloor spreading rate of ridges are slower than rises causing the oceanic crust to subside closer to the ridge axis.
E) Every ridge is composed of continental crust.
Answer:
The correct answer is D.
Explanation:
In volcanic regions, as the molten magma flows out onto the seafloor creating new beds, the faster it flows, the less steep the mid-ocean ridge is. If however, it is slow-flowing, then oceanic lithosphere formed cool closer to the ridge axis thus making it very steep.

Answer:
Analysis of the effect of these two groups of factors upon life expectancy, using data for 95 less developed countries, indicates that mortality is primarily influenced by such socioeconomic development measures as urbanization, industrialization, and education, and secondarily by such public health measures as access ...
Answer: in one word: onesidedness. disappearance of traditions (at least in their most authentic form), globalization of English, some values, abilities or professions are viewed as positive (flexibility, mobility, commercial use, marketing, IT technologies) whereas others are disappearing or are not respected.

Psyche of common people is not holistic eitherr (of course). It is the same with globalization. The main criterion of values is a commercialization. Superficial approach to the world, nature, animals.
Answer:
Stability
Explanation:
Stability (or atmospheric conditions) describes the tendency of the air either with rise and generate storms (destabilization) or resist vertical motion (stability).
As is valid of a balloon, the best way to explain how equilibrium functions is to consider a parcel of air getting a thin , lightweight cover that helps it to stretch but prohibits the air within from interacting with the surrounding atmosphere.
The correct option is C.
Plate tectonic theory explains the structure of the earth's crust and the many phenomena that are associated with it. This theory enables the scientists to know that there are movements in the interior of the earth which are responsible for volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.
