Eduardwww [97]
Wind influences precipitation patterns. Wind could be warm or cool, humid or dry. As they go over the mountains, they could get cooler and cooler until they could not anymore hold moisture that is when it precipitates and distributes water call shower.

Identify the Earth motion that provides the basis for our system of local time and time zones.
dybincka [34]
The picture is basically not necessary here, what the question is asking is : why do we have different time and different time zones?

Our time is divided into 24 hours, so you could ask: what happens every 24 hours? the answer is: the Earth rotates around its axis. So, the Earth motion responsible for this is its rotation around its axis.

Answer:

The age of seafloor rock increases as the distance from the mid-ocean ridge increases.

Explanation:

Mid-ocean ridges are a physical feature that occurs at divergent plate boundaries when the plate boundary is located in the ocean. This physical feature occurs because of more than usual intense activity in the upper mantle, resulting in cracking the crust and splitting up a tectonic plate, making the two, now divided pieces, to move away from each other.

The gap that is opening up between the plates is constantly filled with magma. The magma quickly cools off, creates new rock, and the rock piles up. This process goes on for millions of years, so the rock that has been formed initially has been pushed far away from the mid-ocean ridge by the constant creation of new rock, so the rock at the mid-ocean ridge is the youngest, while the more the distance increases from the mid-ocean ridge, the older the rock.
