A. Earth's magnetic field reverses over time;  the changes show that seafloor spreading  has taken place over time.

Explanation:

The pattern of the magnetic minerals in seafloor ridges are aligned in a repeating pattern because the earth's magnetic field reverses overtime.

This provides evidence because the changes shows that the sea floor spreading has taken place over time.

  • The concept of sea floor spreading was first suggested by Harry Hess in the early 1960's.
  • Using sophisticated tools, he was able to discover stripe patterns of magnetic minerals in rocks.
  • The earth can be likened to a giant bar magnet
  • The geomagnetic field originates from the core where the movement of molten metals induces magnetism.
  • In a fresh cooling magma, the metallic minerals are able to align their domains with the prevailing magnetic field.
  • At some point the magnetic field is normal with a very strong intensity. At other times the intensity is low and it reverses.
  • The minerals keeps track of the changes.
  • This leads to striped pattern that has been used to suggest sea floor spreading.

What is the life cycle for a goldfish?​
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

The life cycle of a goldfish starts out as an egg. The female fish will lay about 25 eggs, but unfortunately only some grow up. The eggs usually hatch within 5 days and if you have a fish tank then you should take the adult fish out or else it may eat the eggs. After the egg hatches, it turns into a fry,(this is what a baby goldfish is called) Once they hatch, they will stay attached to the plants for two days, after that, you should start to feed them. Once they are not fry anymore, they turn into adult goldfish. If you take care of them properly, they could last up to 15 years! Once the fish are complete adults, they can lay eggs. The females rub up against plants and lays eggs while the male Goldfish sprays the eggs to make them fertilize and turn into fry.
