Explanation:

A rainbow is formed when light (generally sunlight) passes through water droplets hanging in the atmosphere. The light waves change direction as they pass through the water droplets, resulting in two processes: reflection and refraction. When light reflects off a water droplet, it simply bounces back in the opposite direction from where it originated. When light refracts, it takes a different direction. Some individuals refer to refracted light as “bent light waves.” A rainbow is formed because white light enters the water droplet, where it bends in several different directions. When these bent light waves reach the other side of the water droplet, they reflect back out of the droplet instead of completely traversing the water. Since the white light is separated inside of the water, the refracted light appears as separate colors to the human eye.

Have a nice day!!

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.

Cheers!
