Explanation:

A mid-ocean ridge (MOR) is a seafloor mountain system formed by plate tectonics. It typically has a depth of ~ 2,600 meters (8,500 ft) and rises about two kilometers above the deepest portion of an ocean basin. This feature is where seafloor spreading takes place along a divergent plate boundary. The rate of seafloor spreading determines the morphology of the crest of the mid-ocean ridge and its width in an ocean basin. The production of new seafloor and oceanic lithosphere results from mantle upwelling in response to plate separation. The melt rises as magma at the linear weakness between the separating plates, and emerges as lava, creating new oceanic crust and lithosphere upon cooling. The first discovered mid-ocean ridge was the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which is a spreading center that bisects the North and South Atlantic basins; hence the origin of the name 'mid-ocean ridge'. Most oceanic spreading centers are not in the middle of their hosting ocean basis but regardless, are traditionally called mid-ocean ridges. Mid-ocean ridges around the globe are linked by plate tectonic boundaries and the trace of the ridges across the ocean floor appears similar to the seam of a baseball. The mid-ocean ridge system thus is the longest mountain range on Earth, reaching about 65,000 km (40,000 mi).

Answer:

Orange Groves are affected by the climate of the region.  In the US, states such as Florida and Georgia are the biggest orange producers because of their climate. Also, oranges need good soil to grow, so dry soils are not suitable for growing oranges.

Nurseries are more "human controlled" than orange groves. A big human factor that plays  a role in growing the food properly is temperature. If the temperature is too hot or cold, the plants  may not grow properly and might even die. Also,  many nurseries can control the humidity inside the nursery.  Some plants require specific humidities to grow- and are vulnerable to a change in humidity.

Coffee plants require moist soil to be grown well. Thus, if the soil is too dry, the coffee plant may die.  In  other words, a coffee plant would grow much better  in a farm, than a desert. Also, Coffee Plants require a high temperature, and that is why most of the world's coffee is grown in places like Africa and South America as they have hotter temperatures.
