Which model above best represents the tectonic plate motion that is the primary cause of new crust and deep rift valleys?

What did the pattern of earthquakes in the wadati-benioff seafloor zones show scientists? a.) earthquakes occur where the ocean floor reaches its highest temperatures. b.) many earthquakes take place 700 kilometers below the seafloor. c.) slabs of ocean floor return to the mantle in subduction zones. d.) ocean - trenches cause earthquakes.

Match the term with the corresponding definition. 1. mountains 2. geographic position 3. latitude 4. oceans 5. pressure 6. land vs. water a. affects temperature by influencing the seasonal range of solar intensity b. despite being at similar latitudes, continental locations have a larger seasonal range in temperature than waterfront locations c. local topography predict temperature and precipitation d. thinner air less able to hold heat makes climate colder e. sea surface temperature influences air temperature and evaporation rates f. affects temperature, moisture, and storm tracks

Explain why ocean water levels do not change very much, even though precipitation happens so often.
