Answer:

D) The rocks contain iron that points in different directions depending on Earth's polarity.

Explanation:

The rock of the ocean floor contains iron. As molten material cooled and hardened, the iron bits inside lined up in the direction of Earth's magnetic poles, creating a pattern of magnetized stripes.

The striped magnetic pattern develops because, as oceanic crust pulls apart, magma rises to the surface at mid-ocean ridges and spills out to create new bands of ocean floor. Ferromagnetic minerals in the hot magma align themselves with the Earth's magnetic field, which completely reverses its north-to-south polarity every now and then, and freeze in that alignment as the magma cools. Later, after the planet's magnetic field flips again, the next stripe of new ocean floor aligns its polarity in the opposite direction.

According to the map,identify one thing that traveled from the Americas to Europe Africa and Asia
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Hello. You did not put the map to which this question refers, but I can help you by showing you something that traveled from the Americas to Europe, Africa and Asia, which were agricultural products.

Explanation:

Through the Colombian exchange, it was possible that many products originating in the American continent were transported to other continents, Europe, Asia and Africa. The majority of these products were agricultural products, specifically food products, which modified food on all these continents, through trade and colonial exploitation.

As an example of this, we can mention the production of potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes in America that was brought to Europeans and Asians, being introduced in their food, supplying problems of supply and influencing the food of citizens. The corn produced in the Americas was transported to Africa, several times, causing the same impact that it had in Europe.
