7 0

Answer: Option (1)

Explanation:

The extinction event played an important role in the creation of new diverse life forms on earth. After an extinction event, both globally and locally, more than 75% of animal species gets vanish and the only those highly resistant life supporting organisms survive and with due course of time, they undergoes evolution, thereby bringing changes to the existing life forms. This is how they initiates and helps in the increasing species diversity.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).

A positive choice to make to impact one's health is to simply wake up in the morning and get ready, and take time on yourself. That will ensure that you appreciate yourself and will give you a positive mentality throughout the day.

A negative choice to make to impact one's health is to constantly over-think situations, causing stress and an unhealthy state of mind.

How do magnetic stripes of iron in ocean rock provide evidence of seafloor spreading
STatiana [176]

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.
