pale, blind shrimp
schools of fish
deep-sea corals
brittle stars
white crabs
giant tube worms
sponges

Question 4

Part B: Why might these animals live near these particular seafloor features?

Question 5

Match each cause (left side) to each effect (right side)

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Seamount emerges from the ocean’s surface		islands are formed
Seafloor spreading		a trench is formed
Tectonic plates move apart very slowly		seafloor spreading
Tectonic plates collide		continental drift
Water seeps into the earth’s crust and is heated by magma		hydrothermal vents are formed
One tectonic plate slides under another		mountains are formed

Question 6

On page 84, the author uses a simile when describing the mountain chain formed by mid-ocean ridges, saying it is like the stitching on a baseball.

Explain what this simile means.
