Oceanic crust worldwide is about the same thickness so isostasy would suggest the ocean floor should be as flat as Kansas. Which of the following statements best describes the origin of these submarine mountains? The ridges are sites of young volcanos that produce high topography on the sea floor, like Hawaii. The ridges represent upwelling zones from the core which produces a bulge at the earth's surface. Compression at the ridges produce local uplift along the ridge axis. The mantle beneath the ridges remains hot for millions of years producing an elevated region along the ridge axis because hot rocks are lower density than cold rocks. 4 / 4 pts Question 22 In a monocline, one of the limbs of the fold ________. is horizontal is vertical dips in the same direction as the other limb, but at a lower angle has a shallower dip in the opposite direction of the other limb
