What happens if a mid-ocean ridge occurs on land

Physics
1 answer:
Gnesinka [82]3 years ago
4 0

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.

A satellite was in two separate crashes. In both crashes, the satellite had the same mass. Engineers want to know about the spee
irina1246 [14]

Answer & Explanation:

Crashing into the asteroid would cause the satellite to slow down, stop, or reverse direction, because it is a force in the opposite direction to the satellite's motion. Whichever crash was a stronger force would cause it to change motion more. It takes a stronger force to change the velocity of a more massive object.

Most comets have short periods and orbit close to the ecliptic plane. (T/F)
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Most comets are located outside the solar system, in part of the cloud that originated from dust and gas that has remained virtually untouchable for billions of years. The orbit of these comets can reach the order of a light year. Thus, they are called long-period comets.

A batter hits a baseball with a bat. The bat exerts a force on the ball. Does the ball exert a force on the bat?
Mazyrski [523]
Yes, think about the difference of swinging a bat and not hitting a ball. It's fairly easy right? Now, when you hit a ball with the bat, you will feel the bat sting your hands. That's the force the ball is exerting on the bat!
