D
Ocean floor features do not continue to change.

Answer 1

C. Because tectonic plates continue to move

Ocean floor features are constantly changing due to the movement of tectonic plates. This movement can lead to the formation of new oceanic crust, the creation of underwater mountains (mid-ocean ridges), the occurrence of earthquakes, and the development of trenches as plates collide or pull apart.
