Question

Consult the map of seafloor age found with this assignment. Examine the characteristics of the following water bodies (it might prove useful to, in addition, consult a physical map in an atlas of the world): 1) Mediterranean Sea (between Europe and Africa); 2) Tasman Sea (between Australia and New Zealand); 3) Mozambique Channel (between eastern Africa and the island of Madagascar); 4) Hudson Bay (in northeastern Canada). From your analysis, select which of the following statements is true:

Question 3 options:

Seafloor spreading created water bodies 1) and 3) but not water bodies 2) and 4). Seafloor spreading continues today in water body 1) but ended approximately 140 million years ago in water body 3)

Seafloor spreading created water bodies 2) and 3) but not water bodies 1) and 4). Seafloor spreading ended approximately 60 million years ago in water body 2) and approximately 140 million years ago in water body 3).

Seafloor spreading created water bodies 2) and 3) but not water bodies 1) and 4). Seafloor spreading is still active in water body 2) but it ended approximately 140 million years ago in water body 3).

Seafloor spreading created water bodies 1) and 3) but not water bodies 2) and 4). Seafloor spreading continues today in both water bodies 1) and 3)

All four of these water bodies were formed through the process of seafloor spreading, and spreading remains active today in all four

a)

Seafloor spreading created water bodies 1) and 3) but not water bodies 2) and 4). Seafloor spreading continues today in water body 1) but ended approximately 140 million years ago in water body 3)

b)

Seafloor spreading created water bodies 2) and 3) but not water bodies 1) and 4). Seafloor spreading ended approximately 60 million years ago in water body 2) and approximately 140 million years ago in water body 3).

c)

Seafloor spreading created water bodies 2) and 3) but not water bodies 1) and 4). Seafloor spreading is still active in water body 2) but it ended approximately 140 million years ago in water body 3).

d)

Seafloor spreading created water bodies 1) and 3) but not water bodies 2) and 4). Seafloor spreading continues today in both water bodies 1) and 3)

e)

All four of these water bodies were formed through the process of seafloor spreading, and spreading remains active today in all four

Explanation / Answer

answer- option B, Seafloor spreading created water bodies 2) and 3) but not water bodies 1) and 4). Seafloor spreading ended approximately 60 million years ago in water body 2) and approximately 140 million years ago in water body 3).

from the given index on the right side of the map , of Age of seafloor , we can estimate the age of 2 and 3 which is correct matched in option B , while in other options the age given is incorrect, hen correct answer is option B
