Explain how the ages of the rocks on the ocean floor support the theory of seafloor spreading​

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.

P ( success AND infection-free )

==>

1 - 0.18 = 0.82

Therefore, 82 percent of these operations succeed and are free from infection.

Nataly [62]

Answer: Na+ channels are closed

Explanation:

The refractory period describes a period between the initiation of an action potential (where Na+ channels are active/open), and immediately after the action potential’s peak.  In the absolute refractory period, action potentials cannot be generated, as Na+ channels are in an inactive or closed state, they usually take around one or two minutes.  

After the absolute refractory period the relative refractory period (RRP) occurs. During the RRP, it is hard to send another action potential. Na+ channels are once again open, but the cell remains hyperpolarized-  its membrane potential, remains negative. Recovery from inactivation is voltage and time-dependent; Action potentials would require an influx of more positively charged ions. These must be more than a specific threshold in order to have the cells send along more action potentials which helps with figuring out stimulus intensity.
