Which of the following happens at mid-ocean ridges and is essential for the process of plate tectonics being able to continue?

2 answers:

6 0

Mid-ocean ridge. 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.

Explain the phases of the moon. what are the periods of rotation and revolution?

cluponka [151]

The Moon is the natural satellite of Earth. Its revolution lasts 27.322 days, while its rotation around its axis lasts 27 days. From the Earth's perspective, the Moon seems to have different phases, where it appears as fully lighted, partially lighted, or totally dark. What the Moon appears to be from the Earth depends on how the Earth, Moon, and Sun are aligned in relation to each other. If the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, the Moon is full, with the reason being that the Sun is lighting up the side that is facing the Earth. If the Moon is between the Earth and Sun, then the Moon can not be seen, it is totally dark, and that is because the side that is facing the Earth is not lighted by the Sun at all. If the Moon is positioned sideways, not being in a straight line with the Earth and Sun, then it appears to be partially lighted, and that is the side that can be seen from Earth that is lighted by the Sun.

A student does an experiment for a science fair to study whether temperature affects the timing of a cricketâ€™s chirps. The stu

nexus9112 [7]

The frequency of chirps increases as the temperature increases. The correct option is B. The chirps occur closer together as the temperature increases.

-------------------------------

<h2>Available data:</h2>

<h3>Data recorded by the student </h3>

Day Temperature Average time between chirps (sec)

1 21 2. 5

2 22 2. 6

3 23 2. 2

4 24 2. 3

5 25 2. 0

6 26 1. 8

7 27 1. 9

8 28 1. 8

9 29 1. 4

10 30 1. 2

11 31 1. 5

12 32 1. 1

In this experiment the student recorded the time in seconds between chirps.

We can see that as the temperature increases, in general, the time between chirps decreases.

At 21ºC the time between chirps is 2.5 seconds

At 26ºC the time between chirps is 1.8 seconds

At 32ºC the time between chirps is 1.1 seconds

According to this information, if the average time between chirps decreases with the temperature increase, we can assume that the frequency of chirps increases as the temperature gets higher.

<h3>Options,</h3>

A) The higher the temperature, the fewer chirps there will be in 10 seconds.

Wrong. The number of chirps in 10 seconds will depend, not only on the frequency but also on how long the chirps last. Since the student did not record the time of chirps, we can not make this conclusion.

B) The chirps occur closer together as the temperature increases.

True. The chirps increase in frequency as the temperature increases, so they occur closer together.

C) The chirps become farther apart as the temperature increases.

Wrong. We can see how the time between chirps decreases as temperature increases, meaning that they are closer not farther.

D) There is no relationship between temperature and the time between chirps.

Wrong. If we make a graph we will see the tendency and the relationship between chirps and temperature.

Graphs usually explain the relationship between variables. In this example, the relationship would be inverse.
