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

Biology
1 answer:
Dafna11 [192]3 years ago
4 0

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 majority of cells have mitochondrion as they need them for their respiration. Chloroplast is the structure plants use to produce their organic matter, the vacuole is very developed in plant cells and is central where as you usually have many vacuoles in animal cells, and the centriole is usually present in animal cells only as well as the wall of cellulose that wraps up the plant cell.</span>

If you ever swam in a pool and your eyes began to sting and turn red, you felt the effects of an incorrect pH level. pH measures
Brilliant_brown [7]
Though there's no question in the statement above I would assume that you are asking about the pH of the water that is acidic. The correct statement would be:

Any liquid that has a pH less than 7 is called acidic, a pH above 7 is basic or alkaline. 

The water in the swimming pool has a high acid concentration due to the chlorine which causes the effect of redness in the eyes.

Think about how the geologic time scale was created and how it is divided. Then answer the following questions.
katovenus [111]
The geologist time scale was formed when scientists studied rock layers and index fossils worldwide. With this information, they placed Earth's rocks in order by relative age. Later, radioactive dating helped determine the exact age of the divisons in the geologic time scale.

This scale is organized by the 4.6 billion years of earth's history into sections based on important changes seen in the geologic record. The largest intervals are called eons, with each eon containing many millions of years.

In precambarian time the processes that affect Earth's surface have lessened the erosion on the surface. Earth was being hit by meteorites every second. Now there is water erosion and there wasn't back then. The surface changes have lessened over time.
