Answer:
Seafloor spreading results from intense activity in the upper mantle which cracks the crust and pushes it away.
Explanation:
Seafloor spreading is a process that was first noticed by Alfred Wegener and was used by him in his theory of plate tectonics. There are three types of plate boundaries; convergent boundary, transform boundary, and divergent boundary. The last one is the one where seafloor spreading occurs.
The convection currents in the mantle are the process that breaks up the crust and move the tectonic plates, and when there is higher activity than usual at some place it results in break up the crust of an already existing tectonic plate. Basically, magma rises at a higher rate and pushes through the crust, in this case, the oceanic crust, and it manages to gradually break through it and come out on the seafloor. By doing so, the magma and the pressure from below are pushing the two now divided parts of the plate. As the space between the two different parts becomes larger and large the density of the crust becomes smaller and smaller so more and more magma rises through. The magma quickly solidifies on the ocean floor and piles up, thus creating an underwater mountain range known as a mid-ocean ridge.
My choice would be D, because Mount Everest is located in landlocked Nepal.
A. Marine West Coast Climate - sunny, mild
Marine West Coast Climate is also called Oceanic. It is characterized with relatively narrow annual temperature range and features a warm (but not hot) summers and cool (but not. cold) winters.
B. Tropical wet and dry - <span>Heavy downpours of rain
</span><span>All twelve months in the tropical climate regions have mean temperatures of at least 18 °C.</span>
<span>C. Moderate Mediterranean - mild and rainy
</span>This climate<span> is known for warm to hot, dry summers and mild to cool, wet winters. </span><span>
D. Tundra - cold
</span>Tundra is the climate with largest average precipitation per season (4.5 inches.) The type of precipitation that falls in this climate<span> is mostly snow in the winter, and in the summer it is rain, with occasional snow. </span>

Answer:
Your answer would be C). A dry climate with little rainfall
____________________________________________________
Explanation:
The reason why answer choice "C). dry climate with little rainfall" would be the correct answer is because of air masses. The air masses pretty much goes to the western side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The slopes on the western side of the mountain is receiving rainfall, and a lot of it. This means that all of the rain can't pass over to the other side of the mountain due to the fact that there is a lot of rainfall that the clouds have, in which it would be difficult to bring it over to the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The eastern side would receive dry air due to the fact that the dry air is being released to the eastern side from the western side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. This would make the eastern side look different from the western side, and would make the eastern side more dryer, while getting little bits of rainfall.
