Where is basalt located?
Basalt is generally found on and near volcanoes.
Where do subduction boundarys occur?
There is no such thing as a subduction boundary, there are divergent, convergent, and transform boundaries. When there is a continental-oceanic convergent boundary (when a continental plate and an oceanic plate smash together) the oceanic plate, because it is more dense sinks into deeper layers of the earth. The area where the two plates meet makes a trench which is a subduction zone. The oceanic plate will melt into the earth and because of the excess lava it rises out onto the continent and makes a volcanic mountain and the lava erupts.
Why does new crust form but the earth doesn't get larger?
As new oceanic crust is being made in one area older crust is being subducted, (pushed or pulled down), in another area, so Earth stays about the same size.
An enironmental area inhabited by a particular organism is its?
habitat
What ocean floor features are associated with areas where oceanic crust is broken down?
The mid ocean ridge is the area of the ocean floor that is associated with the breaking down of the oceanic crust. This area is known for seafloor spreading.
Where is the largest area of undisturbed habitat found on Earth?
antarctica
Where can habitat be found?
A habitat is where an animal can usually be found. For instance, the habitat of frogs and newts are in damp places round a pond, or marshy area.
Earth's radius and surface area are slowly increasing to accommodate the new oceanic crust being formed at mid-oceanic ridges - true or false?
False.
What type of area granite and basalt rocks found in?
Principally and respectively they are the main continental and oceanic crust rocks of the Earth. They will also appear on the surface as igneous rocks by intrusion or extrusion (volcanism).

Where is a celery's habitat?
The common habitat of celery is the Mediterranean area. They also tend to grow in salty soils which are commonly found in coastal regions.Ê

What might a animal do if it can not find water in its habitat?
Let's think about this question for a bit . . . if an animal needs water, and there is none to be found, then that area is not its habitat. Animal's habitats contain everything they need to be healthy and reproduce. If an animal's habitat dried out suddenly, the animal would migrate toward a new habitat area that did have water available.
Is it true that Earth's radius and surface area are slowly increasing to accommodate the new oceanic crust being formed at mid-ocean ridges?
This statement is not true.
