In lab, you were asked to produce a figure below, which shows that water depths in the Pacific Ocean are not as deep as they are in the Atlantic Ocean. This suggests that the crust in the Pacific is more buoyant than the crust in the Atlantic. Which of the following can best explain the buoyancy differences? Distance from MOR (km) -4000.0 -3000.0 -2000.0 -1000.0 0.0 1000.0 2000.0 3000.0 4000.0 1 2 3 O Atlantic O Pacific 7 8 less water pressure in the Pacific Ocean hotter crust due to faster mid-ocean ridge spreading rates in the Pacific hotter crust due to larger volcanoes in the Pacific Depth (km)
