<span>Paleomagnetism is the science of studying the magnetic properties of rocks, sediments, and artifacts which developed in the rocks due to the power and orientation of the earth’s magnetic field while the rocks, sediments and artifacts were being formed. By studying the rocks and sediments scientists can determine when the history of earth’s magnetic field reversed.</span>

Answer:

Paleomagnetism is the study of the history of earths magnetic field in ancient rocks and minerals.

Explanation:

This concept was revealed by the French physicist Achilles Delesse in 1849, who detected that certain magnetic minerals in rocks were associated parallel to Earth’s magnetic field. The study of paleomagnetism started in the 1940s when the British physicist Patrick M.S. Blackett designed a device for calculating the magnetic fields linked with magnetic minerals.

Nowadays, two more devices are used to study paleomagnetic materials: the spinner magnetometer and the cryogenic magnetometer. Each of these devices signifies a noteworthy development in the aptitude of a researcher to perceive and measure the magnetic field linked with a mineral.

The answer is D. The Cultural Revolution, formally the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, was a sociopolitical movement in China from 1966 until 1976. Launched by Mao Zedong, then Chairman of the Communist Party of China, its stated goal was to preserve Chinese Communism by purging remnants of capitalist and traditional elements from Chinese society, and to re-impose Mao Zedong Thought (known outside China simply as Maoism) as the dominant ideology within the Party.

In the violent struggles that ensued across the country, millions of people were persecuted and suffered a wide range of abuses including public humiliation, arbitrary imprisonment, torture, hard labor, sustained harassment, seizure of property and sometimes execution. A large segment of the population was forcibly displaced, most notably the transfer of urban youth to rural regions during the Down to the Countryside Movement. Historical relics and artifacts were destroyed and cultural and religious sites were ransacked. Hope this helps! ~ Autumn :)
