How does the process of ridge push cause the formation of new oceans?

a. ridge push causes a rift valley; as the plates move apart, a new ocean basin forms, filling with water and eventually becoming a mature ocean

b. ridge push causes a convergent plate boundary; as the plates move together, new islands form, which “trap” water between them, causing an ocean to form

c. ridge push causes plates to move apart from one another, creating a deep trench that eventually widens enough to become a new ocean

Of the pollutants that form acids in the atmosphere, which is easiest to reduce? a. sulfur dioxide b. nitrogen dioxide c. ozone d. carbon monoxide

Which best describes how the common cold spreads in the human body? a bacteria burst out of normal cells killing them b viruses replicate inside respiratory cells c bacteria inject dna into normal cells d viruses insert dna into bacteria

Some technological solutions to problems like global warming meet the specific needs and situations of local communities. an example from india involves converting the solid waste from cattle into clean-burning fuel for cooking. this reduces the amount of greenhouse gases, specifically methane and carbon dioxide, released into the environment from wood fires. when evaluating the feasibility of implementing this solution, computer models are used to weigh costs against benefits. what factor is least likely to impact the decision on adopting this technology?
