Question

4 crustal movements in one location can affect locations far away. what evidence from the text supports this conclusion? a steady advancement in technology has allowed geologists to better understand plate tectonics. b the mantle is made up of elements like oxygen, silicon, and magnesium. c geologists mapped the ocean floor and discovered the mid - oceanic ridge. d divergent boundaries in the ocean create a chain reaction that pulls plates apart on land.

Explanation:

We need to identify which option shows that crustal movements in one place affect distant locations. Option D describes ocean divergent boundaries causing a chain reaction that pulls plates apart on land, directly linking a crustal movement in one area (ocean) to an effect in another (land). The other options do not connect distant crustal effects: A is about technology for understanding plate tectonics, B is about mantle composition, C is about discovering a mid-ocean ridge.

Answer:

D. Divergent boundaries in the ocean create a chain reaction that pulls plates apart on land.
