What is the relationship between Howard Foster’s data about earthquake occurrences and Marie Tharp’s data about mid-ocean ridges?(1 point) Responses The earthquake occurrences lined up with the mid-ocean ridges. The earthquake occurrences lined up with the mid-ocean ridges. Mid-ocean ridges are in South America and Africa. Earthquakes can happen anywhere. Mid-ocean ridges are in South America and Africa. Earthquakes can happen anywhere. The mid-ocean ridge was formed at the exact same time that earthquakes occurred. The mid-ocean ridge was formed at the exact same time that earthquakes occurred. Earthquakes occur on land while mid-ocean ridges are underwater. Earthquakes occur on land while mid-ocean ridges are underwater
. The correct answer is: The earthquake occurrences lined up with the mid-ocean ridges.
Which statement accurately describes fossils? (1 point) Responses Fossils are the remains of marine organisms found in mid-ocean ridges. Fossils are the remains of marine organisms found in mid-ocean ridges. Fossils are the decomposing organisms that died recently. Fossils are the decomposing organisms that died recently. Fossils are the organisms that died during earthquakes. Fossils are the organisms that died during earthquakes. Fossils are the remains of organisms from millions of years ago
Fossils are the remains of organisms from millions of years ago.
How does the presence of mid-ocean ridges give evidence of continental drift? (1 point) Responses Magma from the mantle moves in a circular motion depending on temperature. Magma from the mantle moves in a circular motion depending on temperature. Seafloor spreading shows that tectonic plates move away from each other. Seafloor spreading shows that tectonic plates move away from each other. Magma erupts from volcanoes showing that the mantle is below the crust. Magma erupts from volcanoes showing that the mantle is below the crust. Mountains show that tectonic plates move toward each other
Seafloor spreading shows that tectonic plates move away from each other.
Which of the following natural structures occurs at a transform plate boundary? (1 point) Responses trench trench mountain mountain ridge ridge fault
fault
Why are natural formations so different and unique?(1 point) Responses Constructive forces and destructive mechanisms in the natural world build up and take away from natural formations. Constructive forces and destructive mechanisms in the natural world build up and take away from natural formations. The mantle under the tectonic plates is constantly moving and stops constructive forces from acting too quickly. The mantle under the tectonic plates is constantly moving and stops constructive forces from acting too quickly. Divergent boundaries moving away from each other cause the weathering of rocks in the area which leads to erosion. Divergent boundaries moving away from each other cause the weathering of rocks in the area which leads to erosion. The movement of tectonic plates is so fast that mountains are able to form within a few years.
Constructive forces and destructive mechanisms in the natural world build up and take away from natural formations.
