Which is the starting material of soil?

• parent material

• organic matter

• debris

How is new crust formed at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean?

• Magma cools when it reaches the surface at a mid-ocean ridge.

• Magma cools when it reaches the surface along a subduction zone.

• Magma cools underground and pushes up rock at a continental hot spot.

• Magma cools underground and pushes up rock through an oceanic trench.

Why do continents move?

• because of centrifugal force from Earth's rotation

• because the seafloor spreads along the mid-ocean ridge

• because the continents push through the mantle

• because of the gravitational force that creates tides
