Answer:

Duration of the magnetic polarity event

Rate at which the plates are moving away from the mid-ocean ridge

Explanation:

The marine magnetic anomaly usually refers to the variation that occurs in terms of the magnetic field strength of the earth. This takes place because of the presence of minerals within the rocks of seafloor that contains high magnetic property.

These magnetic anomalies occurring in the marine rocks cover only about 1% of the total strength of the geomagnetic field. It shows either positive or negative anomaly.

Some of the factors that influence the width of this marine magnetic anomalies on the rocks of ocean-floor includes:

  • The amount of time it takes during the magnetic polarity event
  • The rate at which the tectonic plates move at a divergent plate boundary from the mid-oceanic ridge.

How are babies made and how long it takes for the baby to form in the mothers belly
Gnom [1K]
For women, the possibility of pregnancy begins in the ovaries. A woman is born with 1 to 2 million eggs, more than a lifetime's supply. The eggs begin dying off almost immediately and she never produces more. The average egg lives only about 24 hours, so it has to be fertilized soon for pregnancy to happen. If it doesn't get fertilized on time, it either dissolves or is absorbed by the body. When an egg is fertilized, its own genetic material and the genetic material of the sperm that got to the egg first combine to create a new cell that starts dividing rapidly. A woman isn't actually pregnant until that new bundle of cells (called the embryo) travels down the fallopian tube and attaches to the wall of the woman's uterus. The average pregnancy lasts for 38 weeks from the date you conceive (called conception). However, doctors usually date your pregnancy from the first day of the woman's last menstrual period. Using this method, a pregnancy is said to last 40 weeks, or 280 days.
