Select the Ocean Basemap (Esri) from the Basemap drop-down menu at the top right. Also select the Regional Bathymetric Contours

from the Options drop-down menu. Locate the divergent boundary that runs between the continents of South America and Africa. This boundary is known as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
Explore this boundary in the location where the two continents are closest, and zoom in until you can easily read the contour lines on the topographic map. Note that the numbers on the contour lines represent the depth of the ocean floor and are always positive. For example, 7,000 meters is deeper than 3,000 meters. Place your cursor or mouse in various locations along the plate boundary, and read the elevation in the map key at the bottom left. The elevation numbers can be negative, unlike the contour lines, so they will become more negative as the sea floor becomes deeper.

Gather information along this boundary and describe how the divergent motion of theses tectonic plates has shaped Earth’s features along this boundary. Provide evidence to support your answer.

Answer:

The land that is closer around the boundary is higher in the ocean than the ocean floor that further away from it. I can prove this because the numbers that are around or on the boundary is 3000, while the ones further out are 5000. The divergent motion of these tectonic plates has shaped Earth's features because when the boundaries move together, the land goes up.

If you are startled by the sound of a loud explosion, the _______________ nervous system will become dominant.
harkovskaia [24]
If you are startled by the sound of a loud explosion, the sympathetic nervous system will become dominant. The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for regulating not only the functioning of the visceral organs (kidneys, digestive system and circulatory system) but also all the automatic functions of the organism, such as breathing, circulation, digestion and elimination.
