Technological advances had helped reveal that the ocean floor was not flat, as once believed, but instead was marked by 50,000-kilometer-long, 3,000-meter-high ridges and 11-kilometer-deep trenches. How do scientists explain why, if new crust is constantly being formed from volcanic materials at the ridges, Earth's crust stays the same size?
A) Seafloor spreading is the cause of new crust being added. Old crust crumbles and forms mountains throughout the Earth's surface. Mountains keep growing.
B) Scientists hypothesize that new crust is the result of volcanic activity throughout the Earth's surface and older magma is destroyed as it subducts during earthquakes into Earth's mantle.
C) Scientists found that the youngest oceanic crust is located nearest the mid-ocean ridge and divergent boundary and the oldest crust is at subduction zones where it sinks back into the Earth.
D) Scientists found that the oldest oceanic crust is located nearest the mid-ocean ridge and forms from volcanic activity;the youngest crust is nearest the trenches and it comes from magma flowing up to Earth's surface..

Unpolarized light of intensity i_0=750w/m^2 is incident upon two polarizers. after passing through both polarizers the intensity is i_2=280w/m^2. (a) what is the intensity of the light after it passes through the first polarizer in w/m^2? (b) write an equation for the angle between the polarizers in terms of the initial (i_0) and final (i_2) intensities. (c) find the angle between the polarizers in degrees.

The speed of sound in ice, water, and steam is shown. what best explains the speed of sound in different states of matter? sound travels fastest in ice because energy is easier to transfer when the molecules are close together. sound travels slowest in steam because the sound has to move around the gas molecules that are far apart. sound travels fastest in ice because the temperature of solids is always greater, so the heat transfers the sound energy. sound travels slowest in steam because the pressure is so great the sound cannot travel though the steam particles.
