Answer:
C. shelf, slope, rise, abyssal plain.
Explanation:
- The ocean floor topography starts with the continental shields and then the slopes and then the that forms the 200 meters and the continental slopes id form the 2000 to 3000 meters and after which the continental rise starts to form a depth of 4000m and till the abyssal plains that is 6000 meters and the depths of the oceanic trenches to a depth of about 10,000 meters.
Question
Mid-ocean ridges are steeper and less broad than rises because:
Group of answer choices
A) the rocks of the mid-ocean ridges are composed of more dense mineral than the rises.
B) the rocks of the mid-ocean ridges are composed of less dense mineral than the rises.
C) The seafloor spreading rate of ridges are faster than rises causing the oceanic crust to subside closer to the ridge axis.
D) The seafloor spreading rate of ridges are slower than rises causing the oceanic crust to subside closer to the ridge axis.
E) Every ridge is composed of continental crust.
Answer:
The correct answer is D.
Explanation:
In volcanic regions, as the molten magma flows out onto the seafloor creating new beds, the faster it flows, the less steep the mid-ocean ridge is. If however, it is slow-flowing, then oceanic lithosphere formed cool closer to the ridge axis thus making it very steep.

Answer:
One side of the moon always faces the earth, which is called synchronous rotation. In other words, the length of time the moon rotates or revolves around its axis is the same as the length of time it takes to orbit the earth... Therefore, our moon always has a side facing the earth, which we call the near side of the moon.
