How do we know that earth's magnetic field has undergone reversals in the past?
slega [8]
We know that the poles had changed positions in the past, because of the arrangement of the crystals in the rocks made out of metal. The crystals of the metals act like the needle of the compass when the rock is cooling off and forming, they turn into the direction of the strongest magnetic field on the Earth, which is the North Pole. So by studying the rocks that are made out of metals and see the crystals arrangement and also estimate the age of the rocks, the scientist can precisely tell how has the North Pole been moving throughout time.

What are *TWO* measures introduced by the US and local governments to reduce the consumption of gas?
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Two measures that have been introduced by the US and local governments to reduce the consumption of  gas are the introduction of light-rail and the use of carpool lanes.  

Explanation:

The introduction of light-rail will reduce the consumption of gas from personal vehicles and also reduce personal vehicle carbon emissions. One example is the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) and Los Angeles has a system that combines light rail and heavy rail called Metro Rail. The use of carpool lanes will reduce the use of gas and help to reduce traffic congestion because there will be less cars on the road in high traffic areas where there is a large percentage of the population who commutes to and from work on freeways. Carpool lanes or High Capacity Vehicle (HCV) lanes are found in metropolitan areas like Washington DC.
