Question

according to the passage, what process occurs at mid - ocean ridges? answer: a. seafloor spreading b. mountain formation c. earthquakes activity d. subduction question: according to the passage, what type of plate boundary is characterized by plates sliding past each other horizontally? answer: a. convergent b. subduction c. divergent d. transform

Explanation:

1. At mid - ocean ridges, seafloor spreading occurs. New oceanic crust is formed as magma rises and solidifies. Mountain formation can be due to various processes like convergent plate boundaries. Earthquakes can occur at different plate boundaries. Subduction is when one plate is forced under another at a convergent boundary. So for the first question about what occurs at mid - ocean ridges, the answer is seafloor spreading.
2. Transform plate boundaries are characterized by plates sliding past each other horizontally. Convergent plates move towards each other, subduction is part of convergent boundaries where one plate goes under another, and divergent plates move away from each other.

Answer:

1. A. Seafloor spreading
2. D. Transform
