(O.01)




Ethan made this model to show the processes which resulted in the formation of oceans.




Art shows six boxes connected with arrows. The label on the first box is 'Segments of Earth’s crust move', second box is 'Earth’s crust formed', third box is 'Water fills the basins', fourth box is 'Sea floor spreading', fifth box is 'Earth plates meet', and sixth box is 'Crusts either broken down or formed'.




Which of these statements best describes a flaw in Ethan's model? (2 points)




Earth's crust was formed after water filled the basins.




Water filled the basins after sea floor spreading occurred.




Earth plates met after the crusts were broken down or formed.




The segments of Earth's crust began to move after the crusts were formed.

Answer 1

Earth's crust was formed after water filled the basins.

Step-by-step explanation:

Earth's crusts are the most superficial Earth's layer. Above them, there is oceanic water. The crusts move in converging and diverging movements. As a result, they form the different parts of the basins. Since the Oceanic water is above the Earth's crusts, water fills the basins when they are created.
