<span>Prevailing winds are winds that blow predominantly from a single general direction over a particular point on the Earth's surface. The dominant winds are the trends in direction of wind with the highest speed over a particular point on the Earth's surface.</span>
Answer:
a) divergent boundaries by submarine eruptions and intrusions of basaltic magma
Explanation:
Divergent boundary is where tectonic plate move apart from each other. Divergent boundary is mostly prevalent in the oceanic crust. The opposing plate tends to move apart from each other.
On the oceanic crust plates move apart from each other causing an upwelling of magma from the aesthenosphere. This magmatic material is introduced through the oceanic ridges. As the magma are introduce the opposing plates separates further . The basaltic magma introduced through the oceanic ridges forms the new oceanic crust. As we move away from the oceanic ridge the rocks gets older . The oceanic ridge where the basaltic magma erupt depict the youngest rocks.
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
The map shown here is the Mercator Projection. This is the map most commonly used in the world today. It helps diagram many land areas and features, but it distorts some parts of the world close to the poles such as Greenland and Antarctica. Due to Earth's spherical nature these to not translate well to a flat map, so they appear much bigger than they actually are.
Have a wonderful day! :D
