#1) Priya took notes during her Earth Science class. What was most likely the topic of the lecture Priya attended?
Answer: The answer is C. Mid-Ocean Ridges. A mid-ocean ridge is an underwater mountain system formed by plate tectonics. It consists of various mountains linked in chains. This type of oceanic mountain ridge is characteristic of what is known as an oceanic spreading center, which is responsible for seafloor spreading. Seafloor spreading is a process that occurs at mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity and then gradually moves away from the ridge.
