Answer:

Yes, the length of plate widening started from the poles and extends towards the other poles

Explanation:

  • As the aspects of spherical geometry, the relative plate motion is affected by the rotation of the earth on its axis and not all are located at the geographic poles. As an example of mid-oceanic ridges that have a spreading value of 37-40 mm/year in southern Atlantic.
  • Hene rotation of the poles can be determined by the accuracy an orientation of the mid-Atlantic ridges. Another example is of the African plate is moving to the east and the northern plate is moving to the west as template rotation is anticlockwise and paleomagnetism pole is and evident to this phenomenon.
  • Spreading and splitting of the supercontinent like Pangaea created a major displacement in the orient rock and thus led by the rotation of the earth, this phenomenon also called the Euler pole and rotation angle based on the earth's orbit around the sun.

Most of the time in the atmosphere, the upward-directed pressure gradient force is exceeded by the downward pull of gravity.
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Ture

Explanation:

  • The pressure gradient is the force that is produced due to the rotation of earth pressure cells that creates lighter air to move upwards and heavier to move downwards due to the difference in densities of air.
  • As the air above consists of lighter elements the oceanic air mostly consist of diatomic molecules of oxygen and nitrogen thus containing a large amount of water vapor, all these molecules have a mass that are pulled down by the gravity and this pull of gravity on columns of gas applies a force what we see an atmospheric pressure.
  • The gas particles and molecules of heavy and denser matter get stuck at the ground, similarly, as the air cools is descends and warm air rises. Thus upwards and downward motion of air causes convergence and divergence of molecules.
