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.

Why do you think surface waves are the slowest moving waves?
Arada [10]

Answer:

S waves are more dangerous than P waves because they have greater amplitude and produce vertical and horizontal motion of the ground surface. The slowest waves, surface waves, arrive last. They travel only along the surface of the Earth.

Explain the impact of the increased carbon dioxide emissions on the environment

Climate change
Greenhouse effect

Some heat energy from the Earth’s surface escapes into space. If too much heat energy escaped, the planet would be very cold. However some gases in the atmosphere can trap escaping heat energy, causing some of it to pass back to the surface.

These are called greenhouse gases, and they keep our planet warm, which is a good thing. Carbon dioxide is an important greenhouse gas.

Increasing carbon dioxide levels

Humans burn fossil fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas. The energy released is used to power cars and other machines, to generate electricity, and to keep buildings warm. The burning fuel releases waste gases, including carbon dioxide. As the human population increases, more fuel is used, and more carbon dioxide is released.

Global warming

The extra carbon dioxide increases the greenhouse effect. More heat is trapped by the atmosphere, causing the planet to become warmer than it would be naturally. The increase in global temperature this causes is called global warming.
