mamaluj [8]3 years ago

Mid ocean ridges occur where two tectonic plates diverge or move away from each other. This separation occurs under the ocean.The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is such an example and is where the North and South American plates pull away from the Eurasian and African plates. Mid ocean ridges are usually a combination of divergent and transform plate boundaries. At transform boundaries plates slide past each other in opposite directions.

Explain how the ages of the rocks on the ocean floor support the theory of seafloor spreading​
Dafna11 [192]

The Drilling sample of the Seafloor spreading theory helped in determining rock ages on the floor of ocean.

Explanation:

The formation of crusts of ocean by the process of volcanic eruptions in the ridges of the middle ocean is the theory of seafloor spreading proposed by Hammond Hess. The movement of tectonic plates continuously forms sea floors through spreading of seafloor.  The several evidences in support of this theory has been seen, of which some are – molten material eruptions, magnetic stripes in rocks and rock ages.

The drilling evidence is the final one that was proved by taking samples of rock by drilling in ocean and by bringing them with pipes. The observation of these rocks proved that older rocks were collected from farther ridges and youngers are found in the central ridges.

The trait of medium-sized leaves in iris is determined by the genetic condition PP′. Plants with large leaves are PP, whereas pl
dsp73

Answer:

20 large size leaves plants

40 medium sized leaves plants

20 small sized leaves.

Explanation:

PP = large leaves

P'P' = small leaves

PP' = medium leaves

PP' was crossed with another PP' plant:

PP'   x   PP'

progeny = PP, 2PP', and P'P'

PP = 1/4  x 80 = 20 large size leaves plants

PP' = 1/2 x 80 = 40 medium sized leaves plants

P'P' = 1/4 x 80 = 20 small sized leaves.

<em>Hence the phenotypes would be:</em>

<em>20 large size leaves plants</em>

<em>40 medium sized leaves plants</em>

<em>20 small sized leaves.</em>
