Question

Which of the following statement is correct?

  1. Crust is made up of tectonic plates.
  2. Crust is made up of crust and mantle plates.
  3. Crust is not made up of aluminium plates.
  4. Crust is made up of mantle thin plates.

hintHint:

Crust is made up of tectonic plates.

The correct answer is: Crust is made up of tectonic plates.


    • Crust is made up of tectonic plates.
    • Lithosphere is made up of brittle crust and the top part of the upper mantle.
    • So, the correct option is a.

    At the boundaries the magma reaches to the surfaces and formation of ridges take place on which area?

    • Where plates converge, one plate may move under the other causing earthquakes, forming volcanoes, or creating deep ocean trenches.
    • Where plates diverge from each other, molten magma flows upward between the plates, forming mid-ocean ridges, underwater volcanoes, hydrothermal vents, and new ocean floor crust.

    Salinity in ocean water decrease when_____________.

    • Near the equator, the tropics receive the most rain on a consistent basis. As a result, the fresh water falling into the ocean helps decrease the salinity of the surface water in that region.
    • As we move toward the poles, the region of rain decreases and with less rain and more sunshine, evaporation increases.
