27. The geocen

4/
Mid ocean ridges are actually sloped, highest in the middle and then they plane out the further away you get.
5/
Sea floor spreading occurs are divergent margins (ie plates moving away from each other… spreading). Convergent margins are plates ramming into each other.
17/
wouldn’t it become warmer and wetter?
21/
unstable environment. Conditional instability is the situation needed for thunderstorms. It really doesn’t matter which direction, especially taking into account the northern/southern hemisphere differences.
22/
As you get closer to the poles, intensity of sunlight decreases on average.
