He is incorrect. Mid-ocean ridges are sites of frequent volcanic activity.
He is incorrect. Mid-ocean ridges are sites of divergent oceanic plates.
He is correct. Mid-ocean ridges are flat areas at the foot of continental shelves.
He is correct. Mid-ocean ridges are ancient volcanoes whose tops have eroded away.

A.He is incorrect. Mid-ocean ridges are sites of frequent volcanic activity.

B.He is incorrect. Mid-ocean ridges are sites of divergent oceanic plates.

C.He is correct. Mid-ocean ridges are flat areas at the foot of continental shelves.

D.He is correct. Mid-ocean ridges are ancient volcanoes whose tops have eroded away.

The correct option is D.

Mid ocean ridges refers to an underwater mountain system that is formed by plate tectonic.Mid ocean ridges are formed when convention current arise in the mantle under the oceanic crust and from a magma,where two tectonic plates come together at aboundary

More than 2000 years ago, the Greek philosopher Aristotle classified
organisms into plants and animals,
He placed all animals into 3 groups:
• land dwellers
• water dwellers
• air dwellers
In addition, he placed all plants in 3 different groups based on differences in
their stems:
herbs
· shrubs
• trees
What was the most likely reason that this system eventually changed?
.
.
A)Aristotle's method was too specific.
B)Two thousand years ago, no one accepted classifying organisms into plants and animals.
C)Many organisms were placed in groups to which they had no real relationship with the other
members of the group.
D)All organisms containing chlorophyll belonged in the same kingdom.

7C. The diagram below represents four different species of bacteria.
Which statement is correct concerning the chances of survival for these
species if there is a change in the environment? *
Species A
Species B
Species C
Species D
ATID
Neither species B nor species D will survive because they compete for the same
resources
Species A has the best chance of survival because it has the most genetic diversity
Species C has the best chance of survival because it has no gene mutations
None of the species will survive because bacteria reproduce asexually
