Longitude is the angular distance of a place east or west of the Greenwich meridian, or west of the standard meridian of a celestial object, usually expressed in degrees and minutes.

The Polynesians developed the fine art of navigation by stars, inherited from the early arab navigators. Arabians used hand measures to measure the height of the star above the horizon to determine their latitude according to the angle determined.

Which features do all new rocks formed near an oceanic ridge share? Check all that apply.
Wittaler [7]

The answers that apply are;

  • striped pattern
  • provide evidence to seafloor spreading

Ocean ridges can be found at divergent boundaries where two plates are moving away from each other. As the magma rises to fill the void, it cools into rock and forms new crust. The iron minerals in the rocks align with the earth’s magnetic field before the rock cools. This causes the rocks in these areas of seafloor spreading to have band-like patterns.  The irons align differently each number of years in relation to the flipping of the earth’s magnetic field. This phenomenon has been used to determine the ages of these rock layers.
