Mid-oceanic ridge is a long mountain range on the ocean floor, extending almost continuously through the North and South Atlantic Oceans, the Indian Ocean, and the South Pacific Ocean. A deep rift valley is located at its center, from which magma flows and forms new oceanic crust. As the magma cools and hardens it becomes part of the mountain range. Mid-oceanic ridges form when tectonic plates meet beneath the ocean and ridge-push, slab-pull or do both to create a subduction zone. See Also :

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Both.

Explanation:

Both ridge-push and slab-pull is responsible for the formation of Mid-oceanic ridges. Ridge push occurs due to gravitational force. As the rocks near the ridge cool down, they become denser as compared to the Mantle so the gravity pulls them away whereas, Slab pull is the pulling force exerted by a cold, dense oceanic plate dive quickly into the mantle due to its higher weight as compared to Mantle. So both ridge-push and slab-pull occurs at the Mid-oceanic ridges.

Assess the reasons why some countries are more vulnerable than others to the impacts of tropical cyclones? (8) marker
The case studies are hurrican katrina and cyclone Alia

Answers

Explanation:

Because of the diversity of human and physical factors that contribute to the variation of degree of vulnerability across a country, especially when the complexity of interaction between them is considered, no country or population has the same vulnerabilities to natural disasters as another. Instead, the geography of a country combined with its level of political, social and economic development interplay to dictate how hazard proximity and vulnerability combine to cause, or avoid, a disaster. Recent tectonic disasters such as the 2010 Haiti earthquake, 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, display two contrasting, but both commandingly devastating, instances in which a predisposition to tectonic hazards and vulnerability caused great human, economic and structural devastation.
