Question

1. which geological process creates symmetrical magnetic patterns in rocks? a. mountain building b. subduction c. seafloor spreading d. fault formation 13. the arabian plate is characterized by: a. rapid southward movement b. the formation of the red sea rift c. extensive volcanic activity d. multiple continental collisions 14. what feature is typically not found at a convergent boundary? a. deep ocean trenches b. mid - ocean ridges c. volcanic arcs d. mountain ranges

Explanation:

1. During seafloor spreading, new oceanic crust is formed. As magma rises and cools, it records the Earth's magnetic field. The symmetrical magnetic patterns in rocks on either side of the mid - ocean ridge are a result of this process.
2. The Arabian Plate is associated with the formation of the Red Sea rift due to its tectonic movement.
3. Mid - ocean ridges are formed at divergent boundaries where tectonic plates move apart, not at convergent boundaries. Convergent boundaries are associated with deep ocean trenches, volcanic arcs, and mountain ranges.

Answer:

1. c. Seafloor spreading
2. b. The formation of the Red Sea rift
3. b. Mid - ocean ridges
