Answer:
Explanation:
There are three main sources of heat in the deep earth: (1) heat from when the planet formed and accreted, which has not yet been lost; (2) frictional heating, caused by denser core material sinking to the center of the planet; and (3) heat from the decay of radioactive elements.
Answer:
Ridges = crust formation
Trenches = crust destruction
Explanation:
Mid-ocean ridges are areas of rifting where two tectonic plates are diverging from one another. Magma rises up through the rifts and forms mountain ranges. The largest is located in the middle of the Atlantic. Rifting creates new crust.
Deep-ocean trenches are formed at convergent plate boundaries where the more dense plate (usually the oceanic) subducts under the less dense (usually continental). Subduction destroys old crust and is often accompanied by volcanoes. They are common along the pacific rim.
