its effects would be worldwide. Such a giant eruption would have regional effects such as falling ash and short-term (years to decades) changes to global climate. Those parts of the surrounding states of Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming that are closest to Yellowstone would be affected by pyroclastic flows, while other places in the United States would be impacted by falling ash (the amount of ash would decrease with distance from the eruption site). Such eruptions usually form calderas, broad volcanic depressions created as the ground surface collapses as a result of withdrawal of partially molten rock (magma) below. Fortunately, the chances of this sort of eruption at Yellowstone are exceedingly small in the next few thousands of years.

Answer:

The age of seafloor rock increases as the distance from the mid-ocean ridge increases.

Explanation:

Mid-ocean ridges are a physical feature that occurs at divergent plate boundaries when the plate boundary is located in the ocean. This physical feature occurs because of more than usual intense activity in the upper mantle, resulting in cracking the crust and splitting up a tectonic plate, making the two, now divided pieces, to move away from each other.

The gap that is opening up between the plates is constantly filled with magma. The magma quickly cools off, creates new rock, and the rock piles up. This process goes on for millions of years, so the rock that has been formed initially has been pushed far away from the mid-ocean ridge by the constant creation of new rock, so the rock at the mid-ocean ridge is the youngest, while the more the distance increases from the mid-ocean ridge, the older the rock.

What makes Quebec different from other cities in North America?
inna [77]

Answer:

It is the only city in North America that is fortified

<u>Quebec is the only city in North America that is still fortified. </u>
