The total length of
mid-ocean ridge spreading centers is about 80,000 km. The average
spreading rate of ridges is 1.25 cm/yr. Calculate the area of new
ocean crust that forms each year.

Respuesta :

Answer: In fact, all of the major landforms that we find on the continents ... Mid-ocean ridges, also called seafloor-spreading centers, are long, ... 1 km = 100,000 cm or 1 x 105 cm ... a mid-ocean ridge with a SLOW spreading rate (1 to 5 cm/yr, full rate).
