Question

Jenna began making a model to show the processes which resulted in the formation of oceans. Art shows three boxes connected with arrows. The label on the first box is 'Water fills the basins', second box is 'Segments of Earth's crust move',and the third box is labeled with a question mark. Which of the following would be the next step in the process? Crust is broken down Earth’s crust moves Earth’s plates meet Sea floor spreading

Answer 1

Earth's plates meet

Explanation: After Earth's crust formed, and water filled the basins, giant segments of the crust began to move. These segments are known as lithospheric plates or tectonic plates. The plates float on Earth's molten interior like rafts of rock. The plates move around, driven by convection currents from the Earth's mantle. The plates move over and under and past each other. Where the plates meet, Earth's crust is constantly formed and re-formed.

Answer 2

Crust is broken down

Step-by-step explanation:

In the formation os oceans, at first water fills the basins, in the second step segments of Earth's crust move and in the third step crust is broken down.

In the oceans when water fills the basin, it allows the Earth's crust to move which makes it folded or break apart. When the crust is broken down along with deep cracks, it is filled with water from streams and rainfall flowing in the ocean.

Hence, the correct option is "Crust is broken down".
