I believe you mean mid-ocean ridge?
If so, true.
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.
A mid-ocean ridge demarcates the boundary between two tectonic plates, and consequently is termed a divergent plate boundary.
Answer:
Balanced Forces
Explanation:
When the forces acting on an object have equal strength and act in opposite directions, they are balanced.When the forces acting on an object are unbalanced, they do not cancel out one another.
Through the roots which soak up the water from surrounding soil
A is the correct answer!
- water can moderate temperature v. well that's why it's used as a cooling agent
- water expands upon freezing (that's why ice floats on water!)
Answer:
Due to the earth spherical shape, different latitudes of the planet receive varying solar energy levels from the sun. This is due to the differences in how the sun rays hit the earth surfaces and differences in the length of atmosphere the rays have to travel before they reach the earth's surface.
The equatorial regions get the most energy levels from the sun hence their atmosphere gets heated faster and the hottest. The air mass in this latitude, therefore, gets less fast dense and begins to rise. The cooler and denser air mass from the poles rushes in, through the lower atmosphere, to replace the void of the rising air.
When this air mass also gets heated, it too begins to rise. Remember the initial air mass cooled as it rose into the upper atmosphere. This now makes it denser than the air mas below it. As the hotter air mass begins to rise from below it pushes the cooler air mass above laterally. After the lateral movement, the air mass begins to sink slowly as it moves towards the poles because the incoming air mass gets denser than the local air mass.
The lateral movement of the convection current moving to the north is deflected to the north-west due to the Coriolis effect of the earth rotation while the lateral movement of the convection current moving south is deflected to the south-west. These pockets of convection currents are called Hadley cells.
