How many kilometers has the left side of the pacific basin spread in 2 million years

Biology
1 answer:
Gelneren [198K]3 years ago
6 0
By left I guess that you mean the western side of the Pacific Basin. There is no longer a spreading ridge on the western side of the Pacific Basin--so the floor is no longer spreading. The seafloor and the paleomagnetic stripes on the seafloor of the Western Pacific were actually created many millions of years ago. In fact, the western side of the Pacific Basin is being subducted--so, the western ocean floor is actually disappearing beneath Japan, New Zealand, etc. 
<span>In the southeastern part of the Pacific, there is still a spreading ridge, the East Pacific Rise, off of Central and South America. And there are little remnants of spreading ridges just off the the Northwest coast of North America </span>
<span>The Atlantic Basin, on the other hand, which has a spreading ridge right down its middle, and has only insignificant subduction along its margin (beneath Caribbean plate), is still getting wider. </span>

Why is this relationship between a plant and bacteria called a mutualism?
belka [17]
Mutualism is relationship that is beneficial to both organisms involved. The relationship between a plant and a bacterium called a mutualism because both of them help each other. Bacteria are involved in increasing the fertility of the soil by fixing atmospheric nitrogen and thus provide plant with nitrogen. In return, the bacteria make their homes in what usually become nitrogen "nodules" along plant roots. The plant gets food, the bacteria gets shelter, everybody wins.

Evidence of Evolution in the human body?
expeople1 [14]

Another type of evidence for evolution is the presence of structures in organisms that share the same basic form. For example, the bones in the appendages of a human, dog, bird, and whale all share the same overall construction ([Figure 2]). That similarity results from their origin in the appendages of a common ancestor.
