Answer:
Despite being such prominent feature on our planet, much of the mid-ocean ridge system remains a mystery. While we have mapped about half of the global mid-ocean ridge in high resolution, less than one percent of the mid-ocean ridge has been explored in detail using submersibles or remotely operated vehicles. so therefore we do not have enough information about them to know what will happen
Explanation:
A mid-ocean ridge or mid-oceanic ridge is an underwater mountain range, formed by plate tectonics. This uplifting of the ocean floor occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary. Mid-ocean ridges occur along divergent plate boundaries, where new ocean floor is created as the Earth’s tectonic plates spread apart. As the plates separate, molten rock rises to the seafloor, producing enormous volcanic eruptions of basalt. The speed of spreading affects the shape of a ridge slower spreading rates result in steep, irregular topography while faster spreading rates produce much wider profiles and more gentle slopes.
Forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction and do not cause a change in an object's movement are called balanced forces.
forces that aren't equal in size and do cause a change in movement (what it seems like you're asking for) are called UNBALANCED FORCES
so answer (in case that wasn't clear, as I'm tired) : unbalanced forces
Inertia is the correct answer!
