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

1 answer:

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.
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 
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.

Lilit [14]

George is lifting weights. He starts by doing biceps curls which involves flexing his elbows. His elbow is able to bend because the humero-ulnar joint is a hinge joint. Sam is doing leg presses, extending his knees as he pushes against the weights. Meanwhile, Jane is doing "lat pulls" by pulling downward on a weighted bar. This movement involves adduction of her arms. Her shoulder joint is a ball-and-socket joint, allowing a wide range of movements.

According to the envelope in Model 1, who is supposed to receive the letter?

matrenka [14]

If you are referring to the model attached, then the answer would be:

Jane Doe

This model demonstrates how one can categorize something based on certain information from general to specific characteristics. For example, many people have the same names, so how would we know who the person is referring to? Using specific details like the house number, building name or apartment, street and zip code will help narrow down who the letter is addressed to specifically. This is a method they use to organize organisms into specific classifications, based on specific characteristics.

Why is water pollution a concern if water is continuously cycled through Earth’s systems?

zvonat [6]

First of all, it makes algae grow, because pesticides and stuff provide too many nutrients. Algae needs a lot of oxygen and so the fish begin to die off because the algae is taking all the oxygen out of the lake. Next, it causes biodiversity to drop, meaning that species are beginning to get less varied. Water pollution harms the lakes and is a concern because the effects of it on species and the water will stay.
