quiz lethow does the ocean floor preserve evidence of past magnetic reversals. a) magnetic particles in basalt orient with the m

agnetic field in force at the time the oceanic lava cooled and hardened. b) isotopic analysis of ocean core sediments help determine sea floor age and this can be used to infer past magnetism. c) the ocean floor is uniformly old, preserving the earth's 4.6 billion history. d) mantle hot spots are always oriented to the magnetic field.

The ocean floor preserve evidence of past magnetic reversals because c) the ocean floor is uniformly old, preserving the earth's 4.6 billion history.

<h3 /><h3>What subjects need to be studied to study the earth's magnetism?</h3>

Paleomagnetism is the study of naturally occurring residual magnetism in rocks with the goal of understanding the strength and direction of the Earth's magnetic field in the geologic past and understanding the motion history of plates. Paleomagnetic fields have played a large role in confirming undersea propagation, through the discovery and understanding of seafloor anomalies. In the 1960s, geophysicists studied the magnetic properties of the ocean floor and began to discover some amazing properties.

The seabed has a system of linear magnetic anomalies in which a "band" has all its magnetic minerals oriented in the same way as the current magnetic field and the magnetic minerals in the bands alternating is oriented in the opposite direction. These bands are oriented parallel to the mid-ocean ridge system; where the ridges compensate for the transform error, the anomalies are also compensated. Symmetrical anomalies are found on either side of the ridge, and similar symmetry is found in ridges around the world.

What is the Judaism distribution?
spayn [35]

Answer:

Judaism is mostly found in the USA and Israel, and in a smaller scale in some of the European and South American countries, though there are in other countries around the world.

Explanation:

Judaism is one of the oldest religions in the world that has managed to survive in modern times. It is the first of the Abrahamic religions and it has been the basis for the formation of Christianity and Islam later in history. The followers of this religion have been the subject of persecution and genocide multiple times throughout history, which has led to stagnation of the number of followers or drop of it.

Nowadays, the USA has the biggest number of Jews, around 12 million, while Israel, the only Jewish dominated country, has around 6.5 million Jews. Only three other countries have over half a million Jews and those are France, Canada, and Russia. Other countries where there are Jewish communities that number more than 100,000 people are the West Bank, UK, Argentina, Germany, Ukraine, Brazil, Australia, and Hungary.
