When scientists plotted the points of normal and reversed polarity on a seafloor map the type of pattern that did they discover in the magnetic polarity is option A: stripes of normal and reversed polarity.

<h3>What do you mean by Reversed Polarity?</h3>

The presence of reverse magnetic polarity found in the opposite sides that is south and northern parts of the ridges is due to the magnetic properties of the magma which get aligned to the earth's magnetic fields.

Magnetism on the seafloor leads to ridges having reversed and normal polarity. These ridges often alternate. The reverse polarities and old and new sea floors are found in association to the spreading of magma in the opposite direction of the ridges.

The first ridge to the right will have a normal polarity. The next ridge will be reversed and this trend will then repeat till the end.

Therefore, correct option is A.

Light elements like hydrogen and helium form a large percentage of the outer planets and Sun is made up primarily of hydrogen. W

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

<u>Instead of Helium and Hydrogen there are heavier elements in inner planets like Nitrogen and oxygen.</u>

Explanation:

As the inner planets like Mercury, Venus and Mars and earth have a solid surface which is separated by the Sharpe atmosphere, and their gravity is too low to hold these light gases.

Uranus is primarily composed of gases and ice of which 83% is hydrogen and 15% helium and rest are trace gases. As in the early composition of the atmosphere, the inner planets like the earth had a solid atmosphere composed of solid silicates elements like magnesium, iron, calcium, and potassium.

As the earth has a highly unstable atmosphere only carbon, nitrogen and oxygen combined in lightning occur. And planet mercury has no atmosphere thus gravity is too low to hold any gas.

Why are oxygen concentrations in the deep waters of the North Atlantic higher than the concentrations found in the deep North Pa

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

The North Atlantic deep water is a water mass formed deep in the Atlantic ocean and the circulation of the thermohaline layer in these ocean describes the distribution of sea salts in the ocean when the water is coo, it shrinks through the convection due to the increased density.

Thus the cold water is rich in oxygen and due to the decrease in the strength f the gulf stream that brings the warm water due to the cooling experience of the North Atlantic drift. Atlantic is a growing plate and pacific is a shrinking plate.

As compared to the warm and saline waters of the pacific ocean as a maximum of 37 parts per thousand is found in this ocean and being a zone of high volcanic and plate tectonic activity that brings out gases and lava at the ocean floor this area has less percentage of oxygen than Atlantic deep.
