• In Figure 1, the flow (movement) of matter and energy at a spreading ridge occurs because:

• as molten rock flows from the mantle to the crust, it cools and crystallizes to form new rock at the center of the fissure volcano.

• as molten rock flows from the crust to the mantle, it cools and crystallizes to form new rock at the center of the fissure volcano.

• as molten rock flows from the mantle to the crust, it heats up and crystallizes to form new rock at the center of the fissure volcano.

• as molten rock flows from the crust to the mantle, it heats up and crystallizes to form new rock at the center of the fissure volcano.

• In Figure 2, the pattern of rock ages on either side of the spreading ridge is caused by:

• new volcanic activity that fills the center of the ridge, pushing the older rock outwards. As this process repeats over time, the oldest rock is always pushed further from the ridge, and the newest rock is formed right over the ridge.

• new volcanic activity that fills the center of the ridge, pushing the newer rock outwards. As this process repeats over time, the newer rock is always pushed further from the ridge, and the oldest rock is formed right over the ridge.

• new volcanic activity that fills the center of the ridge, pushing the older rock outwards. As this process repeats over time, the newer rock is always pushed further from the ridge, and the oldest rock is formed right over the ridge.

• new volcanic activity that fills the center of the ridge, pushing the older rock outwards. As this process repeats over time, the older rock is always pushed further from the ridge, and the oldest rock is formed right over the ridge.

Figures 1 and 2 provide evidence of plate motion because:

• the plate motion combined with episodes of volcanic activity produce bands of rock that are parallel to the ridge; the oldest bands of rock are the furthest from the ridge, and the youngest rock is over the spreading ridge.

• the plate motion combined with episodes of volcanic activity produce bands of rock that are parallel to the ridge; the newest bands of rock are the furthest from the ridge, and the youngest rock is over the spreading ridge.

• the plate motion combined with episodes of volcanic activity produce bands of rock that are parallel to the ridge; the newest bands of rock are the furthest from the ridge, and the oldest rock is over the spreading ridge.
