question 9 (5 points)
listen
what is/are one source of mineral deposits on the seafloor?
a) coral reefs
b) seafloor spreading
c) lagoons
d) volcanic vents

Explanation:

For Question 8, climate is defined as the average weather conditions in a geographic area over a long - term period. Weather is short - term atmospheric conditions, temperature is a single element of weather, and precipitation is also a part of weather.
For Question 9, volcanic vents on the seafloor release hot, mineral - rich fluids which can form mineral deposits. Coral reefs are made of calcium carbonate skeletons of corals, seafloor spreading is related to plate tectonics and not a direct source of mineral deposits in the way volcanic vents are, and lagoons are water bodies and not a source of mineral deposits on the seafloor.

Answer:

Question 8: A. Climate
Question 9: D. Volcanic vents
