What are the cycles that have historically controlled natural climate variability? List the name of each cycle, its natural time
Verdich [7]

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

  • Climate oscillation or climate cycles are a recurring oscillation within the global or regional climates and their fluctuations produce varying climatic cells and pressures often occurring on an interannual and multi annular basis.  
  • On a decadal and millennium timescales.Current examples of the ENSO, Pacific oscillation, Antarctica, and arctic oscillation. like ENSO is characterized by flooding and drought conditions and the distribution of extreme conditions in the form of heat and cold waves.
  • Other cycles like the Piora oscillation, Little ice age, medieval warm period, retreating of glaciers and warming of the planet. All these cycles move on earth from the equator to tropics to temperate to polar areas and the continuous warming and cooling periods have altered the rate of spreading of the seafloor and oceanic basin.
  • Present warming has drastically created a major change in the evolution of species causing extinction and quick decomposition of resources. The release of carbon and methane gases over these years have raised the greenhouse effect at alarming rates.

Where a mid-ocean ridge is offset, the linear feature connecting and between the crests of the ridge segments is called a?
marshall27 [118]

When a mid-ocean ridge is offset, the linear feature connecting and between the crests of the ridge segments is called a Transform Fault.

As the Earth's tectonic plates separate, new ocean bottom is generated along divergent plate borders, which are known as mid-ocean ridges. Massive basalt volcanic eruptions result from molten rock rising to the seafloor as the plates divide. A ridge's shape is influenced by how quickly it spreads; slower spreading rates produce steep, erratic topography, while faster spreading rates result in much wider profiles and kinder slopes.

In geology and oceanography, a transform fault is a type of fault when two tectonic plates slide past one another. A transform fault may develop in the area of a fracture zone that connects spreading centres to deep-sea trenches in subduction zones or that lies between various offset spreading centres.

In the 1960s, Morgan postulated that spreading centres and transform faults separate opposing plates along an oceanic ridge crest that is offset by fracture zones.

The direction of motion on the transform faults was predicted by Morgan's hypothesis to be opposite to the offsets of the ridge crests, which was a rather dramatic assertion.
