How are mid-ocean ridges formed at divergent tectonic plates?

Biology
1 answer:
adoni [48]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The stretching lithosphere is pushed up as the plates move apart.

Explanation:

Mid-ocean ridges are basically underwater mountains that are created with the help of lava convection (which causes the rising of plates) and the diverging (the pulling away) of tectonic plates. This is also how ocean floor spreading happens.

I know that mountains are formed by the converging of tectonic plates, but ocean ridges are NOT created like this.

Hope this helps :)

Vikentia [17]
What  would  happen  if  M RNA   were  radio actively  labeled  instead  of  polypeptides  is   that    instead  of  one  seeing  the  DNA  passing  through  all  the  molecular  factories  you  will  instead see  just  messenger  RNA   taking  code  and   delivering  it  to  Ribosome.  This  is  mainly  found   in   cytoplasm  and  Endoplasmic  recticulums.

A. Yes, because molecules move down the

concentration gradient without using energy.

Active transport is the energy-requiring process of pumping molecules and ions across membranes against a concentration gradient. Both endocytosis and exocytosis are active transport processes.
