Identify all of the different observations used to support harry hess' theory of seafloor spreading.

Biology
1 answer:
Gnoma [55]3 years ago
5 0
In the 1960s Hess proposed that the crust separates along the rifts in the mid ocean ridges and that new seafloor forms by upwelling of hot new crust into these cracks. Magnetic anomaly patterns on the sea floor provide evidence. They are peculiar banded magnetic patterns found on the sea floor. By using the age of magnetic reversals they could calculate the rate of seafloor spreading using the equation speed=distance/time. Another line of evidence is the fact that rocks closest to the spreading ridge are younger and older rocks are further away. <span />

Why are vestigial structures considered critical evidence of evolution?
Norma-Jean [14]
Vestigial structures are considered evidence since scientists believe they are structures that were once used by a species ancestors but are no longer needed. They do not impair the organisms in any way, so there is no need for evolution to get rid of them. Vestigial structures are anatomical features that no longer seems to have a function or purpose in the current form of an organism of the given species. Examples are wisdom teeth, the muscles of the ear, the appendix, the tail bone among others in human.

<em>Hi there, I come in behalf of jcherry99,</em>

So, first question -

This shouldn't be that much of an issue, since we have the text to help us out, but I'll try breaking it up into more simpler words:

The placenta is incide the uterus, where the baby starts forming. As you might already know, babies do not eat while they're inside woman's bellies:

So how do they feed?

They feed throught the umbilical cord.

So why is the placenta there? Why would the baby want anything apart from food?

The placenta, instead of trading food with the baby, regulates temperature, supplies it with nutrients, exchanges gas with the mother (which the mother later exchanges with the environment) and gets rid of waste.

And, food is not everything for a baby that is in the urge of developing complex muscles, bones, etc.

Second "question" -

I do not actually know what I'm supposed to do, since there is no question. But I can tell you this - the information contained in part B is correct:

The amnioic sac provides babies with a liquid which allows him to move freely in the uterus, which is very helpful. But, note that he doesn't start moving randomly, he is always in a fetus or similar-to-fetus position.

Hope it helped,
