How do magnetic stripes of iron in ocean rock provide evidence of seafloor spreading

Answer:

They show how the density of the seafloor has changed. They reveal a matching pattern on either side of the ridge. They reveal differences in the mineral composition of newly created rock.

Answer:

In the 1960s, scientists found evidence that new material is indeed erupting along mid-ocean ridges. The scientists dived to the ocean floor in Alvin, a small submarine built to withstand the crushing pressures four kilometers down in the ocean. In a ridge’s central valley, Alvin’s crew found strange rocks shaped like pillows or like toothpaste squeezed from a tube. Such rocks form only when molten material hardens quickly after erupting under water. These rocks showed that molten material has erupted again and again along the mid-ocean ridge.

When scientists studied patterns in the rocks of the ocean floor, they found more support for sea-floor spreading. You read earlier that Earth behaves like a giant magnet, with a north pole and a south pole. Surprisingly, Earth’s magnetic poles have reversed themselves many times during Earth’s history. The last reversal happened 780,000 years ago. If the magnetic poles suddenly reversed themselves today, you would find that your compass needle points south.

Explanation:

I found this somewhere.

What term is used to refer to the process in which dna can be introduced into host bacterial cells?
Anna71 [15]

There are three ways in which exogenous dna can be introduced into a bacterial genome. These are; transduction, transformation and conjugation. Transduction is the introduction of exogenous material into bacteria by viruses; conjugation is exchange of genetic material between bacteria sexual through  reproduction; while transformation is uptake of exogenous dna by bacteria, from its surrounding, through the bacterial membrane.

How are invertebrates better? PLZ help ASAP
Masja [62]
<span>Invertebrate<span>, </span>any animal that lacks a vertebral column, or backbone, in contrast to the cartilaginous or bony vertebrates. More than 90 percent of all living animal species are invertebrates. Worldwide in distribution, they include animals as diverse as sea stars, sea urchins, earthworms, sponges, jellyfish, lobsters, crabs, insects, spiders, snails, clams, and squid. Invertebrates are especially important as agricultural pests, parasites, or agents for the transmission of parasitic infections to humans and other vertebrates. Invertebrates serve as food for humans and are key elements in food chains that support birds, fish, and many other vertebrate species.Apart from the absence of a vertebral column, invertebrates have little in common. Indeed, they are distributed between more than 35 phyla. In contrast, all vertebrates are contained within a single phylum, the Chordata. (Phylum Chordata also includes the sea squirts and some other invertebrate groups.) Invertebrates are generally soft-bodied animals that lack a rigid internal skeleton for the attachment of muscles but often possess a hard outer skeleton (as in most mollusks, crustaceans, and insects) that serves, as well, for body protection.</span>
