Geography

qaws [65]3 years ago

Every 50,000 years or so, the magnetic poles of the Earth reverse. As basalt is erupted from sea floor spreading centers, the iron in the basalt aligns itself to the magnetic pole orientation. Paleomagnetism is simply studying the magnetic orientation of iron in old rocks. So, if you have a section of sea floor and you find three zones that record magnetic pole reversals, you know that by the rate of those reversals you are looking at roughly 150,000 years of time.

Sudans many years of civil war have resulted from conflicts between
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Sudans many years of civil war have resulted from conflicts between "Muslim Arabs, and Christian and animist Africans. "

Explanation:

Religion is the essential effect in Sudan’s civil war. The North, with most of Sudan's land and inhabitants, is Muslim and Arabic-speaking, and their religion and language are both important for their individuality. On the other hand, the South´s individuality is indigenously African, with Christian and Western influences. Sudan's first civil war was fought between the Arab-led Khartoum government in the north and rebels in the largely Christian and animist south. Southern rebels were fighting for regional autonomy and representation in the government. A peace agreement was signed in 1972 that granted semi-autonomy to the south.
